Echeveria 'Seagull'
About Echeveria 'Seagull'
Echeveria 'Seagull' is an elegant variety characterized by its fluid, wing-like leaves that form a perfectly symmetrical, open rosette. Its base color is a refreshing, pale sea-foam green that feels light and airy. When this variety catches enough "wind" (bright sunlight) or experiences cooler temperatures, it develops striking "sunset" accents—the leaf tips and margins blush with a beautiful gradient of soft pink and deep, coral red.
How to Care for Echeveria 'Seagull'
Sun/Location: To maintain its "flight-ready" compact shape and vibrant red tips, 'Seagull' thrives in bright, filtered light. It is happiest on a sunny windowsill or a bright balcony. If the light is too low, the leaves will lose their pink margins and begin to flatten out.
Soil/Pot: This variety appreciates a "light and airy" home for its roots. Use a porous, well-draining succulent soil mix. We recommend adding gritty materials like pumice or perlite to standard soil to ensure water moves through quickly. A pot with a drainage hole is essential to keep the roots healthy.
Watering: 'Seagull' prefers to stay on the dry side. Use the soak-and-dry method: water thoroughly only when the soil has completely dried out. Avoid pouring water directly into the heart of the rosette, as trapped moisture can lead to rot; instead, water the soil around the base of the plant.

We pack all shipments by hand.
We have many years of experience shipping live succulents and cactus plants. We pay close attention to packing and have developed an expert shipping method.

It is important to us that you are able to Keep going and Keep growing without any stress about the quality of the product or packaging.
Shipping Speed
In general, it takes 3 to 10 days for plants to arrive after you place your order. All orders will be shipped out 48 hours after you place them. We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package. Estimated shipping times are offered as needed.
HOLIDAYS: During weeks in which a holiday occurs - Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc. - shipping may be delayed until the following week.
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!!!
