How to grow and care for Echeveria Peacockii

Light

Echeveria Peacockii prefers a ventilated, dry, sunny environment. It requires proper shading in summer. It is drought tolerant, not cold tolerant and slightly semi-shade tolerant. In summer, when the plant has a short dormant period during high temperatures, the plant grows slowly or stops completely, and should be protected from direct sunlight. Spring, autumn and early summer are the main growth periods of the plants, which can be given sufficient light.

Soil

Those of you who have raised a variety of succulents know that succulents prefer loose soil, as does Echeveria Peacockii. As long as you add a little sand to the soil, with a little moisture, Echeveria Peacockii will grow very well.If you can't find any gravel, you can also add shells, shingles, and the like, which will loosen the soil.

Temperature

As is known to all, the temperature in summer is particularly high. As long as it is sunny, it will not be lower than 33 degrees Celsius. Then we should pay attention to placing the stone lotus in a cool and ventilated place, or using sunshade cloth to block the hot sunshine, and also spray water around it to cool down.

Moisture and water

Echeveria Peacockii should be watered sparingly during high temperature, not blindly during dormancy, and should be watered with sufficient water during vigorous growth so that the plant will thrive.Water management in the growing period should grasp the principle of "see dry see wet, pouring, pouring thoroughly", and control watering in winter when the temperature is lower than 5℃.
Cultivation, keep the appropriate dry environment, air humidity can be slightly larger, but the basin soil should not water, otherwise easy to rot and death.Plant growth is slow when high temperature in summer, placed in a well-ventilated environment, avoid sun exposure, and should be controlled watering and fertilization.When the air is dry, water can be sprayed around the plant to keep the air moist, but the center of the leaf cluster should not be filled with water, otherwise it will rot the heart and lead to death in severe cases.

Repot 

Repot every spring. The basin soil chooses loose and breathable soil, can be mixed with peat and coarse sand, add a small amount of bone meal.

Ventilation

Ensure ventilation, indoor maintenance to frequently open the window ventilation, can effectively prevent the breeding of pests and diseases. The temperature difference between day and night can be increased appropriately, and it can be preserved outdoors in spring and autumn to promote the bright color growth of the leaves of Echeveria Peacockii.

Prevention of pests and diseases
