- Light Requirements: The Echeveria Purple Pearl thrives in bright, indirect sunlight, but can also tolerate partial shade. For the best color and growth, place the plant where it receives at least 6 hours of sunlight each day. Avoid direct, harsh midday sun, as this can scorch the leaves. If grown indoors, a south or east-facing window is ideal to ensure it gets adequate light throughout the day.
- Watering Schedule: This succulent prefers infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to check the soil moisture before watering. Water deeply, then allow the excess to drain away, ensuring the plant never sits in water. During the winter months, reduce watering as the plant enters a dormant period.
- Soil Preferences: A well-draining soil mix is essential for the health of your Echeveria Purple Pearl. Use a commercial cactus or succulent mix, or amend regular potting soil with sand or perlite to improve drainage. Avoid soils that retain too much moisture, as this can lead to root issues. A sandy, gritty texture will allow the roots to breathe and prevent water from pooling.
- Leaf Structure and Color: The leaves of the Echeveria Purple Pearl are thick, fleshy, and form in a rosette pattern. Each leaf is a deep lavender or purple hue, with a slight silver sheen that gives the plant a pearlescent quality. The edges of the leaves are often slightly curled, adding to the plant's delicate appearance. As the plant matures, the colors can deepen, especially when exposed to ample sunlight.
- Flowering and Seasonal Changes: Echeveria Purple Pearl may produce tall, slender flower stalks in late spring or early summer, adorned with small, bell-shaped flowers. The flowers are usually pink or coral, offering a striking contrast to the purple foliage. While the plant's primary attraction is its foliage, these seasonal blooms add an extra layer of beauty and interest.
- Growth Habit and Size: This Echeveria variety typically grows in a compact, low rosette that can reach up to 6 inches in diameter. The plant maintains a tidy, symmetrical shape, making it an ideal choice for containers and small garden spaces. It grows slowly, allowing it to maintain its form and size for extended periods without requiring frequent repotting.

Testimonials
Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
