Ice Green, Echeveria "Ice green", a succulent plant of the genus Echeveria in the Crassulaceae family. The plant height is generally around 10 cm. The leaves are arranged densely in a rosette appearance, thick and fleshy, triangular-ovate, spoon-shaped, with a white powdery coating, and the appearance is blue-green. When in good condition, the outer edges of the succulent's leaves turn red-purple. Depending on the light and temperature difference environment, the color ranges from light to dark, the range of leaves expands, and even the whole plant can take on a slightly orange-red jelly-like look.

Growth Habits

Ice Green is generally not difficult to care for. In the spring and autumn growing seasons, give Ice Green as much full light as possible. With sufficient light, the leaves of Ice Green become thicker and the form can be more compact and beautiful. With insufficient light, the leaf color easily turns green and loses its ornamental value.

Care Methods

During the spring and autumn growing seasons, it can be watered thoroughly. When the potting soil is about 70 to 80 percent dry, it can be watered until thoroughly soaked. Avoid letting it stay completely dry for a long time. During the rainy season, avoid prolonged rain exposure to prevent water accumulation and leaf rot. In summer, Ice Green should be shaded, with an appropriate amount of direct light, and it is best to ensure the plant does not flatten out like a big pancake. Water should be controlled; when the potting soil is about 80 to 90 percent dry, water a small amount along the edge of the pot. Ventilation should be strengthened. In summer, avoid rain exposure, avoid watering directly onto the plant, and avoid keeping the potting soil wet for a long time.

Soil Mix

For planting Ice Green, choose a loose and breathable medium, such as peat/coco coir, granular soil; the proportion of granular soil can be relatively high.

Propagation Methods

Ice Green can be propagated by leaf cuttings and division to cultivate new plants, and can also be propagated from side heads sprouting from its base.
