Unit price perEstimated delivery between 25 May and 27 May.
The Echeveria Frosty (Echeveria × 'Frosty'), a member of the Crassulaceae family, is a hybrid succulent prized for its icy, silvery-blue rosettes edged with delicate pink tips. Native to arid regions of Mexico, this low-maintenance perennial captivates with its sculptural form and frost-like coating (farina), which protects it from intense sunlight. Thriving in bright light and well-draining soil, it’s perfect for indoor containers, rock gardens, or drought-tolerant landscapes. Hardy in zones 9-11, it’s a resilient choice for succulent enthusiasts and beginners alike.
Symbolizing tranquility and resilience, Echeveria Frosty is non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe addition to any home.

Echeveria Frosty Care Guide
This hardy succulent is easy to care for but requires specific conditions to preserve its delicate farina coating. Follow these guidelines for success.
Watering
- Water sparingly only when the soil is completely dry (every 2-3 weeks).
- Use the soak-and-dry method: water deeply, then let excess water drain fully.
- Avoid wetting the leaves to protect the powdery farina coating.
Light
- Requires 6-8 hours of bright, direct sunlight daily for vibrant color.
- Indoors, place near south or west-facing windows; use grow lights if needed.
- Too little light causes stretching and faded hues.
Temperature
- Prefers 65-80℉ (18-27℃) protect from frost and temperatures below 40℉ (4℃).
- Low humidity is ideal to avoid damp environments to prevent rot.
Common Problems
- Root rot: Caused by overwatering, use gritty, well-draining soil.
- Mealybugs: Treat with 70% isopropyl alcohol or neem oil.
- Farina damage: Avoid touching leaves, as the protective coating doesn’t regenerate.
- Etiolation (stretching): Relocate to a sunnier spot for compact growth.
Best Locations & Uses
- Sunlit windowsills, offices, or bright patios.
- Outdoor rock gardens, succulent beds, or xeriscapes.
- Focal point in minimalist terrariums or living wall art.
- Wedding décor, table centerpieces, or gift succulents.
- Pairs with sedums, graptopetalums, or agaves in desert displays.
- Ideal for small apartments, balconies, or drought-tolerant landscapes.
