Echeveria elegans | Mexican Snowball Succulent Plant

    Low Stock

    Echeveria elegans is one of the most beloved succulents in the world, and it is easy to see why. This Mexican native forms perfect, symmetrical rosettes of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves in a soft, powdery blue-green with delicate pink edges. It is neat, compact, and endlessly charming, producing slender arching stems topped with little pink and yellow bell-shaped flowers in spring and summer. It multiplies happily by sending out offsets, making it ideal for arrangements, containers, garden borders, and gifts.

    📐 Current Size 6-9 cm across (May 2026)
    ☀️ Sun Bright light to full sun, at least 4 to 6 hours per day. Adequate light keeps the rosette tight and the colours vivid.
    ⚠️ Toxicity Non-toxic to humans, cats, and dogs.
    💧 Watering Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, every 7 to 14 days in summer and much less in winter. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems.

    📏 Mature Size Rosettes 15 to 20cm wide and 10 to 15cm tall.
    🌿 Difficulty Easy. A great choice for beginners.
    🎨 Colours Soft blue-green with pink edges. Produces pink and yellow bell-shaped flowers in spring and summer.
    🛡️ Disease Resistant Good when not overwatered. Watch for mealybugs.
    🏜️ Drought Tolerant Very good.
    🔥 Heat Tolerant Moderate. May need some shade during extreme summer heat.
    🪨 Poor Soil Yes. Needs well-draining, gritty soil.
    📝 Additional Notes Frost sensitive. Excellent for containers, arrangements, and low-maintenance garden borders. Produces offsets freely that can be potted up as new plants.
