What makes variegated succulents unique
These plants are characterized by striking color patterns, the result of a genetic mutation that affects the distribution of chlorophyll in their leaves. This lack of chlorophyll in some parts of the plant results in colors such as white, yellow, pink, light green, and red in their foliage, making each plant unique and special. Among the most sought-after are the Echeverias , known for their compact shape and intense colors.
Plus, they're hardy and adaptable, making them perfect for both experienced gardeners and those just starting out as a plant collector. They're easy to care for if you follow proper growing tips, ensuring your plants grow healthy and vibrant for many years.
Growing tips for your variegated succulents
Growing these varieties is relatively simple, but there are some essential care requirements to keep them at their best. These plants have a growth period that runs from early spring to late fall, although this may vary depending on the geographic location and the specific variety of the succulent. The earliest varieties begin flowering in early spring, while the latest ones do so in early summer.
As for the substrate, they adapt to almost any type of soil, but it's preferable to use a draining substrate. A good mix is 50% universal substrate, 25% volcanic gravel, and 25% pumice. This ensures that water doesn't stagnate in the roots and prevents rot. During the most active stage, from February to September, it's important to fertilize the plants with a low NPK fertilizer (3-1-5), as it provides them with the necessary nutrients to grow strong and healthy.
Sun exposure and adequate temperature
Sun exposure is a key factor in growing these species. These plants require moderate sun exposure, meaning they can tolerate full sun during their growth stage. However, in summer, it is essential to shade them during peak sunlight hours, between 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm. This will help prevent sunburn, especially in the more delicate varieties.
Despite their resistance to cold, these plants require protection when temperatures drop below 5 degrees Celsius. During the winter months, within this temperature range, the plant enters a dormant phase and does not require watering. The same applies if temperatures exceed 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit) maximum or 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) minimum for extended periods, the plants stop growing, meaning they do not need to be watered.
Watering variegated succulents
Watering is another fundamental aspect of caring for these plants. During the growth stage, which runs from early spring to late fall, they should be watered every two to three weeks. It's always best to water plants during the waxing or full moon, as these phases are believed to promote their development.
