Succulent - Echeveria 'Pelusida' (4 Inch Round) is a charming succulent known for its distinctive rosette shape and vibrant, eye-catching coloration. It makes a lovely addition to any plant collection or decorative display.
Description:
- Dimensions: Grows to a height of 4-6 inches with a spread of 4-6 inches. Forms a rounded rosette with thick, fleshy leaves that are typically green with hints of pink or blue.
- Sun Exposure: Prefers bright, indirect light but can handle some direct sunlight. Ideally receives 4-6 hours of indirect sunlight daily. Too much direct sunlight may cause leaf burn.
- Water Requirements: Needs well-drained soil with infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Water sparingly, especially in winter.

- Bloom Time: May produce small, tubular flowers on a slender stalk in late spring or early summer. The flowers are typically orange or pink, adding a splash of color to the rosette.
- Pruning: Minimal pruning is required. Remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy and looking its best.
How to Plant:
- Location: Ideal for containers, small pots, or decorative arrangements. Prefers bright, indirect light for optimal growth.
- Soil Preparation: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Ensure the container has drainage holes or use a well-draining medium to avoid waterlogging.
- Planting: Place the plant in the 4-inch round container, ensuring the soil level is just below the rim. Fill in around the roots with soil and lightly firm it.
- Spacing: For a 4-inch round pot, ensure the plant has enough room to grow without overcrowding. This will allow for healthy growth and a well-shaped rosette.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry. Avoid overwatering and ensure the soil dries out between waterings.
