Echeveria 'Paso Doble'

About Echeveria 'Paso Doble'

Echeveria 'Paso Doble' is a succulent plant belonging to the Echeveria family. It is a hybrid between Echeveria colorata and E. longissima var. brachyantha. The plant has velvety green leaves that are distinctly folded at the center and curved inwards at the top, with bright red margins and red spots on the backs of the leaves. Under full sunlight, the leaves turn beautifully red, much like a bullfighter in a bright red dress.

How to care for Echeveria 'Paso Doble'

Sun/Temperature: Echeveria 'Paso Doble' thrives best in a calm and sunny environment and requires about 3-6 hours of sunlight daily. It can be grown in open conditions but can also be placed indoors on a sunny balcony or by a window. It needs to be shaded in the summer to protect it from intense direct light. Its temperature range is between 50-70°F, but if it falls below 40°F, it must be kept warm and moved indoors.

Soil/Watering: Echeveria 'Paso Doble' is a hardy plant that can be grown in a loose and breathable medium such as peat/coir, granular soil, or a high percentage of granular soil. It can be watered with a soak-and-dry watering method. However, it is important to remove standing water after watering and keep water out of the soil. During summer, when temperatures are high, watering can be reduced or cut off.

Pot: When choosing a pot for Echeveria 'Paso Doble,' the first criterion is drainage holes. Additionally, since the plant produces side shoots, it can be grown in pots with a larger diameter.

Propagation: Echeveria 'Paso Doble' produces offsets that can be propagated by cutting them with sterilized scissors or a knife, drying the wounds, and planting them in dry soil.

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.
