Common Name
Neon Breaker Succulent, Ruffled Echeveria

Origin

Light
Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. A south- or east-facing window is ideal. Protect from harsh, direct midday sun, which can cause sunburn on the leaves.

Water
Use the “soak and dry” method: water deeply and allow the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.

Humidity
Thrives in low to average humidity. Avoid overly humid conditions, which can lead to rot. Good air circulation is beneficial.

Soil
Plant in a well-draining soil mix, such as a cactus and succulent blend. Adding sand or perlite can further improve drainage. Repot every 2–3 years or when the plant outgrows its container.

Food
Feed once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted cactus and succulent fertiliser. Pause feeding during the autumn and winter months.

Temperature
Prefers temperatures between 18–26°C. Avoid exposure to frost or temperatures below 5°C.

Pet-safe
Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe addition to your home.

Sprouts Top Tips
