About Echeveria Mebina Variegata (4 inch)

Echeveria Mebina Variegata is a succulent variety derived from the mutation of Echeveria Mebina. Its leaves are thick and oblong-shaped, with a flat surface and slightly raised back. They exhibit white or light yellow spots on the upper side, which, under ample sunlight, turn pink or rosy red. Compared to Echeveria Mebina, Echeveria Mebina Variegata grows slower and boasts richer colors. It's less tolerant to sunlight and cold than Echeveria Mebina, requiring more careful maintenance.

How to care for Echeveria Mebina Variegata (4 inch)

Sun/Temperature: The optimal temperature range for Echeveria Mebina Variegata is 60°F to 80°F with winter temperatures not dropping below 40°F. While it can be cultivated outdoors in summer, plants may enter dormancy if temperatures exceed 95°F. Sufficient sunlight encourages compact growth and intensifies the red hue along leaf edges and enhancing its ornamental value. However, shading is necessary during summer.

Soil/Watering: It's generally advised to avoid using soil mixtures with excessive particles for planting Echeveria Mebina Variegata, as this can impede growth. A soil mix with 50-60% particles is recommended. Spring and autumn are growing seasons when moderate watering is encouraged, allowing the soil to dry slightly before watering again. Water should be carefully controlled in summer. Avoiding direct leaf watering especially in strong sunlight. Watering in the midday warmth of spring and winter afternoons or evenings of summer is optimal.

Pot: Echeveria Mebina Variegata readily produces side shoots, so choosing slightly larger pots is advisable.

Diseases: In summer, it's prone to powdery mildew. If infection occurs, affected parts should be pruned and treatment with sulfur-based or copper-based fungicides is recommended. Overwatering should be avoided during this period.

Propagation: Echeveria Mebina Variegata can be propagated through beheading. Remove the top portion of the plant by cutting just below the bottom leaves with clean scissors or a knife. Allow the cut to dry before planting the beheaded portion in soil for propagation.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option.
