Houseplant of the week: Mexican rose

Why will I like it?
A rose in succulent kind, echeveria “fabiola is present in mountainous terrain in Mexico. Its rosette form and pastel tones make it a fairly delight for any residence, with the bonus of changing into much more enticing when it blooms.

Mild or shade?
Vivid mild.

The place ought to I put it?
On a sunny, south-facing windowsill.

How do I hold it alive?
Full daylight will guarantee the attractive leaf color and general wholesome look of echeveria, so keep away from shade. With out sufficient mild, they will develop into “leggy” (stretched from attempting to achieve mild), kind a protracted stem and finally topple over. Nonetheless, at temperatures above 30C or in very intense daylight it'll want shade and additional air flow; in any other case, the leaves will scorch or dry out. Plant in free-draining soil. Water weekly in the summertime and scale back within the winter months, ensuring it at all times dries out between watering. It may be simpler to water these crops beneath, as stagnant water pooling on the leaves can injury them.

Do you know …
Round 150 species and greater than 1,000 cultivars of echeveria with new hybrids are made yearly.
