About this plant
Echeveria is a large group of rosette-forming succulents from Mexico and Central America. The fleshy, waxy leaves are arranged in neat, flower-like rosettes, often in soft blue, green, gray or pink tones, and the plants send up slender stems of small bell-shaped flowers from time to time.
In Dubai it does best in very bright light. Indoors it needs a sunny windowsill, or it stretches and loses its compact shape. Outdoors it enjoys the mild winter, but from June to September strong midday sun and 45°C heat can scorch it, so give it afternoon shade then. Overwatering is the main cause of loss: water only when the soil is completely dry, and never let water sit in the rosette.
It works on windowsills, desks near bright windows, shaded balconies, terrariums and as a small gift. We offer it in a compact 5–10 cm size, in a nursery pot or a ceramic pot.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Echeveria healthy through the Dubai year.
Light
Very bright light with some direct sun; afternoon shade outdoors in summer. Keep it out of harsh direct afternoon sun in summer.
Watering
Every 2–3 weeks indoors when the soil is fully dry; less in winter. Water when the top 2 to 3 cm of soil feels dry, empty the saucer afterwards, and check the soil before you water: AC slows how fast the plant uses water.
Care notes
Soil: gritty cactus and succulent mix with extra perlite. Feeding: diluted cactus feed once or twice in spring. Common mistake: watering on a schedule or into the rosette, which rots the plant. Where it works: sunny windowsills, bright desks, shaded balconies and small gift arrangements.
AC and air flow
Keep it at least 1 metre from AC vents. Cold air blowing straight onto the leaves dries the edges.
Cleaning the leaves
Dust settles quickly in Dubai homes. Wipe the leaves with a damp cloth every few weeks so they keep taking in light.
Feeding and repotting
Feed once a month from March to October. Repot every 2 years into a pot one size up, or book a Plant Doctor visit and we do it for you.
Pets
Listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses.

Echeveria FAQs
Can Echeveria live outdoors in Dubai?
Yes for most of the year, but give it afternoon shade from June to September, when strong sun and heat can scorch the leaves.
How often should I water it?
Only when the soil is completely dry, usually every 2–3 weeks indoors. Water the soil, not the rosette.
Is Echeveria toxic to pets?
The ASPCA lists Echeveria species such as blue echeveria as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses.
Why is my Echeveria stretching?
It needs more light. Move it to the brightest window you have, ideally with a few hours of direct sun.
