Echeveria 'Tango'

About Echeveria 'Tango'

Echeveria 'Tango' has elliptical leaves that are relatively flat on the front and arc-shaped concave on the back. These leaves are powder green with red color margins on the edges.

How to care for Echeveria 'Tango'

Sun/Location: Like other soft succulents, Echeveria 'Tango' can't survive outdoors in cold winter. Bring them indoors and place them by the window to get as much sunlight as possible or under a grow light. It can be placed outdoors in spring and fall to get full sunlight. The ideal location for succulents is where they can get full sun in the morning and some shade for the rest of the day.

Soil/Pot: To ensure the health of succulents, they need porous, well-draining soil to live in. Make the succulent soil on your own with garden soil, compost and pumice, or choose the cactus soil mix of The Next Gardener. Topdressing helps prevent insect damage and promote drainage.

Watering: Succulents require little watering but don't like to sit in wet soil. The best way of watering is the soak-and-dry method. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry, but not often. Click here to learn how to bottom water your succulents.

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.

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.

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!!!
