Echeveria Pollux

Echeveria pollux is a rare fast growing evergreen succulent with rosettes of fleshy, obovate overlapping leaves with a purplish-grey tone. It develops a short stem with age and can produce flowers in spring.

The pale grey colour makes it unique from other succulents so its perfect if you are looking for a special addition to your succulent collection, or want to start one.

How to take care of Echeveria Pollux

Once established Echeveria Pollux plants are drought resistant but also enjoy regular watering and fertilizing. Free draining, porous soil is essential to prevent root rot.

The most common problems seen on Echeveria Pollux plants are due to poor watering habits.

When you water Echeveria Pollux plants, water only the soil and not the rosette and let the soil dry out a little between each watering.

Echeveria Pollux don’t like to be kept too wet, but they also don’t like to be kept too dry.

In a house the dry home temperatures dry plants out even faster. Too dry and it will wither the plant’s roots. Dramatic changes in lighting can stress Echeveria Pollux plants out.
