About this plant
Echeveria Tippy is a hybrid echeveria (Echeveria 'Tippy') that forms a tight, symmetrical rosette of thick, pale blue-green leaves. Each leaf ends in a sharp, pink to red tip, and the color deepens with strong light and cooler temperatures. Like other echeverias, it has its roots in the succulents of Mexico.
In Dubai it needs plenty of light. A sunny windowsill indoors keeps it compact and colorful, while low light makes it stretch and fade. Outdoors it is happy in the winter months, but in summer it needs afternoon shade, as midday sun and extreme heat can burn the leaves. It stores water in its leaves, so let the soil dry out completely before watering, and avoid humid, airless spots.
It works on windowsills, bright desks, shaded balconies and mixed succulent bowls, and it makes a simple gift. We offer it in a small 5–10 cm size.

Care Guide for Dubai Homes
How to keep Echeveria Tippy 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. Feeding: diluted cactus feed once or twice in spring. Common mistake: keeping it in a dim room, where the rosette stretches and loses its pink tips. Where it works: sunny windowsills, bright desks, shaded balconies and succulent bowls.
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.
