Perfect for both indoor and outdoor settings, this drought-tolerant beauty thrives in bright light and well-draining soil, reaching 6-8 inches in diameter. Hardy in zones 9-11, it’s an excellent choice for rock gardens, container arrangements, or sunny windowsills. Safe for homes with pets, its ever-changing colors provide year-round visual interest.

Echeveria Chroma Care Guide
Known for its resilience and striking colors, this rooted starter plant thrives with minimal intervention. Follow these guidelines for healthy growth.
Watering
Water deeply only when the soil is completely dry (every 2-3 weeks in summer, monthly in winter). Use the "soak and dry" method, ensuring excess water drains fully. Avoid wetting the rosette to prevent rot.
Light
Requires 6+ hours of bright, direct sunlight daily for intense coloration. East or south-facing windows are ideal indoors. Acclimate gradually to outdoor sun in spring. In extreme heat, provide afternoon shade.
Temperature
Prefers 65°F-80°F (18°C-27°C). Tolerates brief frosts down to 20°F (-6°C) when dry. Protect from prolonged freezing temperatures and heavy rain.
Common Problems
- Root rot from overwatering or poorly draining soil.
- Etiolation (stretching) in low-light conditions.
- Mealybugs hiding in leaf crevices are treated with 70% isopropyl alcohol.
- Sunburn from sudden exposure to intense midday rays.
- Leaf discoloration due to mineral-heavy tap water.
Best Locations & Uses
- Creates living art in rock gardens, xeriscapes, or stone pathways.
- Thrives in shallow pots or hypertufa planters for tabletop displays.
- Adds texture to wedding centerpieces or succulent wreaths.
- Perfect for sunny bathroom windowsills with occasional humidity.
- Ideal for beginner gardeners or urban balconies with full sun.
