Echeveria Simulans

About Echeveria Simulans

  Echeveria Simulans is a unique succulent plant of the genus Echeveria in the family Crassulaceae. This plant is rosette-shaped, with ovate to obovate leaf blades, while the tip of the leaf is mucronate. The leaf margins are finely pleated, thin, and have a translucent white edge. The pale green rosette would turn pink with proper sunlight and temperature stress.

How to care for Echeveria Simulans

Sun: During the spring and fall growing seasons, adequate light will cause Echeveria Simulans to wrap more compactly while making its leaf margin ruffles visible. Echeveria Simulans will have a spread-out center and a poorly defined ruffled edge if not given enough light.

Soil/Pot: To grow Echeveria Simulans, it's best to use loose, well-drained cactus soil and a plant pot with drainage holes. Since this succulent grows relatively quickly, picking up a larger pot is recommended to promote better growth.

Watering: To promote stronger root growth, it is recommended to water Echeveria Simulans thoroughly during the growing season rather than frequently drip water. As a summer dormant grower, this plant prefers little water each month, and it can even go without water. If you have potted plants outdoors, providing a rain cover is best to avoid them sitting in the rain for too long. This can help prevent fungal diseases and plant rot.

We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
