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.
