{"product_id":"echeveria-perle-von-nurnberg-3-pot","title":"Echeveria Perle von Nurnberg - 3\" Pot","description":"\u003cp\u003eEcheveria 'Perle von Nurnberg' is one of the most iconic ornamental succulents, forming an elegant rosette of pointed leaves in dusky pink, lavender and grey tones overlaid with a pearly frosted bloom. Bright sunlight deepens its purple-pink hues. A vigorous, easy hybrid, it produces tall arching stalks of coral-pink bell flowers in summer. It is a staple of succulent arrangements, bouquets and gifts. Needing only bright light, gritty soil and occasional watering, it suits beginners. In India it grows superbly on sunny balconies and rooftops with shelter from heavy monsoon rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFamily\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCrassulaceae\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eNative region\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHybrid (Mexico parentage)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10-20 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eMature spread\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12-20 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eGrowth rate\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModerate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFoliage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePearly pink-purple frosted rosette\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower colour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCoral-pink with yellow\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFlower season\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSummer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eClimate zone\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eArid, USDA 9-11\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare guide\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSunlight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBright light to full sun for purple tones\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eWatering\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSoak and dry; water only when soil is dry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSoil \/ mix\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGritty, fast-draining succulent mix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eTemperature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10-32 C; protect from frost\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eHumidity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow; prefers dry air\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eFertilizer\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDilute succulent feed once in spring\/summer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePruning\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRemove dried lower leaves\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eRepotting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEvery 2-3 years in fresh mix\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePropagation\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeaf cuttings, offsets, beheading\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003ePests \u0026amp; problems\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMealybugs, aphids\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eToxicity \/ safety\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-toxic \/ pet-safe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eDifficulty\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEasy\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA classic decorative succulent for arrangements, bouquets, gifts, dish gardens, sunny windowsills and balconies.

Strong light brings out its rich pink and purple tones and keeps the rosette compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe for pets?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, echeverias are generally non-toxic and pet-safe, though it is still best to keep pets from chewing on any plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen should I repot it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eRepot every 2-3 years or when it outgrows the pot, using fresh gritty succulent mix in a well-draining container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow do I propagate it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePropagate easily from leaves, offsets or by beheading.

Give it more direct sun and the pink-purple tones will intensify again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen does it bloom?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt usually blooms in summer, sending up tall arching stalks of coral-pink bell-shaped flowers with yellow interiors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan I grow it indoors in India?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes, at the brightest sunny window. For the deepest colour, though, an outdoor sunny balcony or rooftop is ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy does the leaf coating come off?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pearly farina rubs off when touched and won't regrow on that leaf. Handle the plant by its pot to keep the frosting intact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes it need fertilizer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnly lightly; one diluted dose of succulent feed in spring or summer is enough.
