Echeveria Tippy is a succulent of the genus Echeveria in the family Crassulaceae. Its bluish-green leaves, form a tight and beautiful rosette. The tip of the leaf is a little long and prone to redness. Orange blossoms that look like bells appear on 'Tippy' in spring. It looks like Echeveria Derenbergii, but the whole plant is much larger and whiter. Tippy is easier to keep than Echeveria Derenbergii.
Soil: Because it is very drought resistant, it is necessary to plant it in loose, breathable, and nutrient-rich soil, with granular soil accounting for more than 70%, so the plant will more easily thrive. It should have some organic matter (peat moss, coconut coir, etc.) and be neutral or slightly acidic in PH.
Sun: Full sun to partial sun is needed for Echeveria Tippy to thrive. If you water a succulent indoors, do not immediately move it outside in the sun, which will burn it easily.
Watering: Echeveria Tippy dislikes wetness and tolerates drought. It can be watered thoroughly during its growing season after the soil dries out. In summer, when it is dormant, reduce the amount of water. In winter, control the water. Rot or fungal diseases that can kill the plant may occur if the water stays in the rosette, so be careful to avoid that.
Temperature: Echeveria Tippy prefers a warm, dry, well-ventilated environment with plenty of light. It will go dormant in summer when the temperature and sunlight are too high, so it needs some shade and less water during this time. It grows best in the range of 65-70°F and should not be lower than 41°F in winter.
Propagation: leaf cutting, stem cutting, or seeds are the ways to propagate Echeveria Tippy. For leaf cutting, take a healthy leaf from the parent plant and let the cut end dry for a few days. Then put it on soil that drains well and spray it with water now and then until roots grow.

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
Unfortunately, shipping is not available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. The transit time is too long, and the plants would be dead on arrival.
Due to numerous factors beyond our control, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And, we can no longer guarantee orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico that get delayed by more than 4 in-transit days. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. Thank you for your understanding.
Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
I kind of think that the plant I got isn’t the same as the plant listed. Totally different shape, color, form. And wasn’t packed well
This plant was packed very well and appears very healthy. I'm a repeat customer and am very pleased with the plants that I get from TNG.
Arrived very well packed. Appears healthy and striving. I'm satisfied.
