Echeveria 'Mont Blanc'
Echeveria 'Mont Blanc' is named after a mountain peak in the Alps and belongs to the Crassulaceae family. Its leaves are covered with a thick layer of white powder and are dense, ovate, and with colors ranging from pale green to light blue. The tips of the leaves tend to turn red quickly, and they are arranged in a rosette shape, resembling a lotus flower. As time passes, Echeveria 'Mont Blanc' leaves gradually turn orange-red, giving them a jelly-like texture and a beautiful appearance.
How to care for Echeveria 'Mont Blanc'
Sun/Temperature: For optimal growth, Echeveria 'Mont Blanc' prefers temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. It thrives in bright sunlight, promoting its growth and making outdoor cultivation on balconies or gardens ideal. However, it should be brought indoors during rainy or snowy weather and summer heat, while total sun exposure is acceptable during other seasons.
Soil/Watering: A mixture of fertile peat soil and coarse sand is recommended to provide good drainage and aeration for the roots. Echeveria 'Mont Blanc' is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering. The soak and dry watering method is suitable, with watering intervals of approximately ten days during spring and autumn. Care should be taken to avoid water splashing onto the white powder on the leaves.
Pot: Choose containers with good ventilation to prevent water retention, and regularly clean them to maintain cleanliness.
Propagation: You can use leaf cuttings or offsets for propagation. Healthy leaves or offsets should be allowed to dry and callous before being inserted into well-draining soil, where they will root under appropriate humidity and light conditions.

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.

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.
