Echeveria Trumpet Pinky (4 inch)

About Echeveria Trumpet Pinky (4 inch)

Echeveria Trumpet Pinky (4 inch), also known as "Echeveria Piggy Nose" due to its unique tubular leaf shape, is a hybrid cultivar derived from Echeveria peacockii 'desmetiana'. It features an overall lotus-like appearance with elongated trumpet-shaped leaves gracefully curving outward. The leaves have a smooth, waxy texture and a succulent feel, while the stem displays a light gray color and does not tend to form woody stems. During flowering, under specific conditions of ample sunlight exposure and temperature stress, it produces pink or light red flowers, adding a distinctive charm to the entire plant.

How to Care for Echeveria Trumpet Pinky (4 inch)

Sun/Temperature: Echeveria Trumpet Pinky (4 inch) prefers plenty of sunlight but may suffer from sunburn if exposed to intense sunlight for prolonged periods. It can be placed indoors in a bright location or outdoors in partial shade. It has moderate temperature requirements, thriving within a range of 65 to 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

Watering/soil: For optimal drainage, use well-draining succulent soil and containers with drainage holes, adding a layer of gravel at the bottom to facilitate water drainage and maintain a healthy root environment. When watering, it is essential to ensure that the soil dries out completely between waterings, and it's recommended to water directly onto the soil to avoid water accumulation on the leaves. Water approximately every 7-10 days during the growing season, reducing frequency during the winter.

Fertilization: Fertilize with a succulent-specific fertilizer during the growing season (spring and fall), following instructions for application. Avoid fertilizing during dormancy (summer and winter).

Propagation: Echeveria Trumpet Pinky (4 inch) is easy to propagate. Simply remove a healthy leaf from the plant, allow it to callous for 2-3 days, then plant it in well-draining soil mix and lightly water. Roots should develop within a few weeks. Alternatively, you can remove a cluster of healthy offsets, allow them to callous for 2-3 days, then plant them in well-draining soil mix and water lightly after a week.

Pests and Diseases: Regularly inspect the plant for pests like scale insects and aphids, and treat promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil to ensure proper airflow and prevent mold.

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.
