Echeveria setosa 'Mexican Firecracker' Highlights:
- 'Mexican Firecracker' forms a fuzzy rosette of pointed blue leaves that develop pink tips when exposed to direct sunlight.
- Easily propagated from leaf and stem cuttings.
- Produces tall bloom stalks with flowers that range in color from orange, to yellow to pink.
- Hardy to Zone 9 (20°-25° F). Echeveria will not survive a hard frost. However, succulents can easily be grown indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window if there is a risk of temperatures dropping below 25° F. If there is only a risk of freezing temperatures for a few days, most succulents do just fine outside if they are covered by frost cloth or a sheet until temperatures increase (I'm talking to you, Zone 9 friends).
Echeveria Care: As with all succulents, it is best to follow a "soak and dry" schedule where you water your plants deeply (until water runs out the bottom drain holes), and then allow your soil to dry completely before watering again. Succulents should always be planted in well-draining cactus and succulent soil and in a pot or container that has drain holes. Be sure to provide your Echeveria with plenty of bright sunlight to maintain its vibrant colors and compact form.
