Know before you buy
Yes, this succulent is non-toxic to both pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with curious animals.
To keep its metallic blue-green color and vibrant leaf tips, place it in a spot that receives plenty of bright, direct sunlight. While it can tolerate bright, indirect light, its growth may become leggy and the colors less intense without enough sun.
Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. For best results, incorporate extra perlite or pumice to ensure water drains quickly and the roots do not sit in moisture.
This plant is drought-tolerant and prefers a low-watering schedule. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, especially during the winter months.
Yes, it can bloom indoors. You can expect delicate pink or orange flowers to emerge from the center of the rosette during late winter or early spring if the plant is receiving adequate light.
No, the Echeveria peacockii is a slow-growing succulent. It features a clumping habit, meaning it will gradually form a small cluster of rosettes over time rather than growing rapidly in size.
