Echeveria Mebina Variegata
About Echeveria Mebina Variegata
Echeveria Mebina Variegata is a succulent of the Echeveria genus in the Crassulacea family. It is variegated from Echeveria Mebina. The plant is small, with chubby leaves with red margins and pointed tips. The leaves are densely packed in a lotus-like shape. It blooms in spring and grows in clumps by sprouting side buds. There is no difference between them in plant shape and leaf shape. The biggest difference between them is the color. Because of the variegation, Echeveria Mebina Variegata has beautiful striped variegated spots on its leaves.
How to care for Echeveria Mebina Variegata
Soil/pot: Choose a well-drained and breathable succulent soil mix, such as a mixture of peat, granular soil, vermiculite, perlite, etc. Add a small amount of bone meal or slow-release fertilizer as a base fertilizer. Also, this plant prefers acidic soil with a pH of around 6. Select a suitable succulent pot with drainage holes that allows for proper drainage.
Sun: Variegatad Echeveria Mebina likes sufficient indirect sunlight (about 6 hours of indirect light per day) can promote its growth and coloring, but it should avoid exposure to the scorching sun in summer to prevent sunburn. If kept indoors, place it in a sunny location. Click here to learn how much sun succulents need.
Watering: Succulent plants are known for their low water requirements. Under the condition of loose and breathable potting soil, it is best to keep the potting soil slightly dry. We recommend that the newly received Echeveria Mebina Variegata be given minimal water after repotting, keeping the soil slightly moist to allow the succulent to gradually acclimate to its new environment and develop new root systems.

Propagation: Because Echeveria Mebina Variegata is easy to grow in cluster succulents, propagation can be done year-round. You can use scissors to cut the head, dry the wound, and dry the soil and root, don’t be afraid that they are soft; they will recover quickly after watering. Propagation should be placed in a well-ventilated and bright place without direct sunlight. Too intense or too dark light will inhibit the success rate of leaf insertion. After the seedlings grow out, gradually increase the light. Click here to learn how to divide cluster succulents to propagate fast.
Other tips: Variegated succulents need enough light to stimulate the synthesis and decomposition of chlorophyll to form pigmentation, but variegated leaves that lack chlorophyll are more prone to sunburn than ordinary leaves, and long-term strong direct sunlight is not safe for variegated succulents. It is a good choice to prepare a planting location for variegated succulents that can get soft sunlight in the morning and bright indirect sunlight in the afternoon (such as proper shade).
