Know before you buy
Bare root shipping means the plant arrives without soil or a pot, with its roots exposed. This is a standard, safe method for succulents that allows you to inspect the root health and choose your own preferred potting mix upon arrival.
To keep the vivid red-burgundy tips, this plant requires bright, indirect light. If the plant begins to stretch or lose its color, it is likely not receiving enough light and should be moved to a brighter location.
Because this Echeveria is prone to rot if left in damp conditions, you must use a free-draining succulent or cactus mix. We recommend amending your soil with extra gravel or perlite to ensure water passes through quickly.
During winter, the plant enters a period of dormancy and requires significantly less moisture. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, as the plant will not be actively growing.
The 'Joan Daniels' has a clumping growth habit. Over time, it will naturally produce offsets, or 'pups,' around the base, eventually forming a dense cluster of rosettes.
