8.5cm Pot

Plant Highlights: Rosette-forming succulent • Soft lavender-grey foliage • Pink flush in bright light • Compact indoor plant

Overview

Few succulents combine elegant form and subtle colour as well as Echeveria ‘Perle von Nürnberg’. Its symmetrical rosette is made up of fleshy leaves with a powdery lavender-grey finish that develops soft pink and lilac tones in bright conditions, making it an attractive feature on a windowsill, shelf or tabletop.

Its naturally compact habit makes it easy to display on its own or as part of a collection of succulents and cacti. The sculptural shape provides year-round interest, while the small nursery pot is ideal for growing on in a decorative container with good drainage.

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Light

Place in a bright position where it receives plenty of natural light. A sunny windowsill is often ideal, helping the foliage maintain its best colour and compact growth.

Watering

Water thoroughly only when the compost has dried out, allowing excess water to drain away completely. Reduce watering during the darker winter months when growth naturally slows.

Compost

Grow in a free-draining cactus or succulent compost, and always use a pot with drainage holes to help prevent excess moisture around the roots.

Routine Care

Remove any older leaves from the base of the rosette as they dry naturally. Repot only when the plant has outgrown its container, using fresh free-draining compost.

Indoor Placement

This succulent is well suited to a bright living room, bedroom or home office where it can receive plenty of natural light. Avoid placing it beside cold draughts or in persistently dim positions, as this can lead to weaker growth and reduced foliage colour.
