About this item
Sedeveria Pink Ruby is a succulent plant from the Crassulaceae family and Echeveria genus. Its leaves are long and spoon-shaped, with thicker, slightly pointed tips. They are tightly arranged in a rosette shape, resembling a lotus flower. The leaves are very smooth and glossy, turning red in autumn and winter and shifting to green during the summer.
Growth Habits
Light Requirements: Pink Ruby thrives in sunlight. During spring and autumn, it can be exposed to full sun, but in summer, it requires partial shade to avoid sunburn. Sufficient sunlight enhances its vibrant colors.
Temperature Requirements: The optimal growth temperature is between 10-30°C (50-86°F). In winter, temperatures should not drop below 5°C (41°F).
Watering: Pink Ruby is drought-tolerant. Follow the "soak and dry" method when watering, ensuring the soil is completely dry before watering again. Avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering during high summer temperatures and almost stop during winter.
Soil: Prefers loose, well-draining soil. A mix of peat, perlite, and vermiculite works well.
Care Tips
Light: Full sun during spring and autumn; provide shade during hot summer days.
Watering: Follow the "soak and dry" rule to prevent overwatering.
Fertilizing: During the growing season, apply succulent-specific fertilizer or a balanced NPK fertilizer once a month. Use a low-concentration formula.
Pest Control: Prone to infestations by aphids and spider mites. Use appropriate insecticides to manage pests.
Precautions
Avoid Waterlogging: Pink Ruby is sensitive to overwatering, so ensure the soil has good drainage.
Temperature Management: Keep the plant warm during winter to prevent frost damage to the leaves.
By providing proper care, Sedeveria Pink Ruby can maintain its vibrant hues and serve as an excellent decorative plant for your home or garden
