About Echeveria 'Dark Ice'

Echeveria 'Dark Ice' is a compact rosette succulent with spoon-shaped leaves. The greyish-blue leaves can turn reddish and deep purple when stressed, which is very charming.

How to care for Echeveria 'Dark Ice'

Sun/Location: Echeveria 'Dark Ice' is easy to care for like most succulents; it requires indirect bright sunlight to maintain the color and shape form and can grow up nicely by a window that has access to sunlight. It can be placed outdoors in spring and fall to get full sunlight. Shade is required in summer to avoid sunburn. In winter, protection from frost is needed.

Soil/Pot: Succulents need a porous, well-draining cactus soil mix to thrive to maintain their health. Simply combine cactus soil with pumice, perlite, or grit rocks to offer the proper drainage for succulent plants. 

Watering: Be careful with the watering frequency, succulent dislike being in moist soil all the time. You can use the “Soak and Dry” Method for watering succulents. Just water them when the soil has completely dried out, and you should keep water from making the leaves succulent as much as possible.
