Description

Echeveria peacockii 'Urban Orange' is a small fleshy succulent plant that is frost-tender. It forms glaucous, blue-grey leaf rosettes, possibly tinged with red at the tips in full sun. In summer, it adorns itself with an orange flowering, attracting a multitude of insects. It is used to create sculptural and easy-to-maintain pots indoors or on the terrace and balcony. it is drought-resistant and requires little watering and maintenance.

Echeverias are perennial succulents belonging to the Crassulaceae family. These plants are famous for their very decorative leaf rosettes reminiscent of artichokes. Originating from dry and rocky areas in central Mexico, the Echeveria genus is particularly sensitive to excess water. These plants require well-drained, gravelly soil and a very bright exposure. Highly drought-resistant, Echeveria still appreciates some watering in summer. Echeveria peacockii species cannot tolerate frost and begin to suffer as soon as the temperature drops below 6°C. It is best cultivated in a pot that can be stored indoors, protected from frost, from early autumn. Echeveria peacockii 'Urban Orange' forms a rosette of fleshy, widely flattened, spatulate leaves, covered with a bloom that gives it a bluish-grey glaucous hue. The rosette measures about 8 cm in all directions. Growing rather slowly, it can spread over 40-50 cm on the ground, through the production of stolons. New rosettes form at the end of these stolons. Flowering occurs in June-July, depending on the growing conditions. It takes the form of small bright yellow bell-shaped flowers, carried on 15 cm arched stems that arise at the axils of the leaves.

Plant Echeveria peacockii 'Urban Orange' in an attractive, shallow pot. It delights collectors of cacti and other succulent plants. You can also create a desert-like mini-garden in the house, on the terrace or balcony, mixing Echeverias with Aloes, small agaves, dwarf opuntias, or houseleeks, for example.

Planting and care

Sow 'Echeveria peacockii  'Urban Orange' from February to April in a seed tray. Use good quality soil, sifted on the surface to bind the seed to its substrate. Before sowing, lightly press down the soil with a board. Sow your seeds by broadcasting them. Cover the seeds by sprinkling soil on top or vermiculite, lightly press down and water lightly. Place your seed tray in light, without direct sunlight, at a temperature of 21°C to 25°C. Lower the temperature at night to 18°C to create a beneficial germination cycle.

Seed germination will take 10 to 18 days. As soon as the plants are manageable, transplant them into 7 cm pots. Keep the soil moist, but not overly wet during growth.

Choose a well-lit location indoors or a sunny spot outdoors. Add some compost and a little gravel or coarse sand to improve drainage.

Cultivate at a temperature of 18-25°C during the day and 15-18°C at night. Cooler temperatures at night are better for leaf colour. In winter, indoor temperature should be between 15 and 18°C. Temperatures below 15°C lead to leaf deformation. Echeveria does not tolerate frost.
