Pink Taige: A Variety Introduction of a Crassulaceae Succulent

Alternative Names of Pink Taige

Pink Taige is also called Pink Taige

Morphological Characteristics of Pink Taige

The stem is thick and sturdy, slowly elongating as it grows. The leaves are arranged in a rosette pattern, and the plant diameter can reach over 10cm. The leaves are spoon-shaped, narrower at the base than at the tip, with a sunken line down the middle of the leaf running from the leaf tip to the leaf base.

The leaf tips turn red under sufficient sunlight. New leaves are lighter in color, tending toward blue-white, while older leaves are darker, tending toward purple-red, possibly with dark red spots, and the leaves change color from the edges toward the base.

The leaves are covered with a thin layer of white powdery bloom; after it is wiped off, the leaves appear gray-green. Under strong light and large day-night temperature differences, or during low-temperature periods in winter, the leaf color becomes deep red; under weak light, the leaf color becomes light blue-green and the leaves spread out flat.

Growth Habits of Pink Taige

Temperature: Pink Taige prefers a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight. It is slightly cold-tolerant, and can still grow slowly at winter temperatures around 0°C.

Summer care: It goes dormant in summer (it can still grow slowly if well adapted to the growing environment). Give little or no water. After temperatures drop in mid-September, gradually increase watering frequency.

Care Tips for Pink Taige

Water: Generally water after the potting soil has dried out. Do not let water droplets fall into the center of the leaves, otherwise it easily causes rot.

Nutrients: Fertilize once every quarter, using a slow-release succulent fertilizer.

Propagation Methods of Pink Taige

Pink Taige can be propagated by stem cuttings and leaf cuttings, as well as by division, and can be done throughout the year.

Suggested planting combinations: Echeveria runyonii, Echeveria 'Violet Queen'
