The Echeveria Gray Red (Echeveria × 'Gray Red'), a member of the Crassulaceae family, is a striking hybrid succulent native to Mexico’s arid regions.

Thriving in well-draining soil and full sun, it’s a low-maintenance perennial perfect for indoor containers, rock gardens, or drought-tolerant landscapes. Hardy in zones 9-11, it’s a resilient choice for succulent lovers seeking bold visual contrast.
Symbolizing adaptability and balance, Echeveria Gray Red is non-toxic to pets and humans, ensuring safe enjoyment in any home.

Echeveria Gray Red Care Guide
This hardy succulent is easy to grow but requires specific care to maintain its vivid coloration. Follow these guidelines for success.
Watering
- Water only when the soil is completely dry every 2-3 weeks in summer, less in winter.
- Use the soak-and-dry method: water deeply, then let excess water drain fully.
- Avoid wetting the leaves to preserve their powdery coating (farina).
Light
- Requires 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily to intensify red tips.
- Indoors, place near south or west-facing windows; supplement with grow lights if needed.
- Too little light causes faded colors and leggy growth.
Temperature
- Prefers 60-80℉ (16-27℃) 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 and use of gritty, well-draining soil.
- Mealybugs: Treat with neem oil or 70% isopropyl alcohol.
- Etiolation (stretching): Relocate to a sunnier spot for compact growth.
- Sunburn: Shield from extreme midday sun in hot climates.
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 sedum, agave, or blue chalksticks for color contrast
