Echeveria Monroe

About the Echeveria Monroe

Echeveria Monroe, also known as Echeveria Orange Monroe, earns its name from its bright orange color when in triving, making it exceptionally stunning. As one of the most popular succulent varieties, Echeveria Monroe features thick spoon-shaped leaves. In its default state, Echeveria Monroe displays a blue-green hue with a thick layer of white farina coating its leaves. When blooming, its color transitions from orange to pink, with leaves reaching a translucent jelly-like appearance. In spring, it blooms with tall flower spikes bearing clusters of orange-red flowers.

How to Care for Echeveria Monroe

Sunlight: Echeveria Monroe requires ample sunlight to maintain its color and shape. During spring and autumn, it can be kept outdoors under full sunlight. In summer, provide outdoor plants with shade to prevent sunburn. Ensure at least 10 hours of indirect sunlight or use grow lights.

Temperature: Pressure-induced coloration in succulents typically occurs during seasons with significant temperature fluctuations, particularly in spring, autumn, and early winter. Echeveria Monroe is sensitive to frost and should be moved indoors when temperatures drop below freezing.

Watering: Being a chubby succulent, Echeveria Monroe stores a considerable amount of water in its leaves. During spring and autumn growing seasons, adhere to the soak and dry method, ensuring the bottom watering to preserve the farina on the leaf surface. Reduce watering in winter and summer.

Soil and Pot: For young 2-inch Echeveria Monroe plants, mix 50% potting soil and 50% perlite. Opt for small pots with drainage holes, approximately 3.5 inches in diameter.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.

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.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

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. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
