Echeveria 'Star Mark'

About Echeveria 'Star Mark'

Echeveria 'Star Mark' is a radiant variety that stands out for its elongated, slender leaves that are slightly longer than your average Echeveria, giving the rosette a star-burst appearance. Its base color is a bright, refreshing lime green. When "stressed" by sunlight or cooler temperatures, this succulent undergoes a magical transformation: the leaves develop a translucent "jelly" quality, blushing with a stunning gradient of electric orange and soft candy pink. It is a high-contrast beauty that brings a pop of neon color to any arrangement.

How to Care for Echeveria 'Star Mark'

Sun/Location: To achieve the iconic "jelly" orange and pink tones, 'Star Mark' needs plenty of bright, filtered light. A south-facing window or a very bright patio is ideal. If it doesn't get enough light, it will revert to its solid lime green state and the leaves may begin to stretch outward.

Soil/Pot: This variety stores quite a bit of moisture in its slightly longer, plump leaves, so well-draining soil is a must. Use a porous cactus mix with at least 50% gritty material (like pumice or perlite) to ensure the roots stay dry between waterings. Always use a pot with a drainage hole to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.

Watering: Follow the soak-and-dry method. Water the soil thoroughly only when it is completely dry to the touch. Because of its elongated leaf structure, avoid getting water trapped in the "crevices" of the rosette, as this can lead to crown rot. Bottom watering is an excellent option for this variety to keep the foliage pristine.

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!!!
