- Sunlight Requirements: Echeveria Melaco thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate direct sunlight for a few hours a day, especially in the morning, but too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves. A spot near a south or east-facing window is ideal for this plant.
- Watering Schedule: This succulent prefers a "soak and dry" approach. Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, usually every 10-14 days depending on the humidity and temperature of your home. Avoid overwatering as it can lead to root rot.
- Soil Type: Echeveria Melaco requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. If you’re using regular potting soil, be sure to amend it with sand or perlite to improve drainage.
- Leaf Shape and Texture: Echeveria Melaco's leaves form a tight rosette, with each leaf being thick, fleshy, and slightly pointed. The surface of the leaves is smooth with a subtle waxy coating, giving them a slight sheen.
- Coloration: The leaves of this plant boast a unique blend of bronze, brown, and green tones. New growth often starts with a bright green color, gradually deepening to a rich bronze as the plant matures and is exposed to sunlight.
- Size and Growth: This succulent typically grows to a diameter of 6-8 inches, making it a medium-sized succulent that fits well in small to medium pots. Its growth is relatively slow, allowing it to maintain its form and color over time.

Testimonials
Natalie"Came in perfect condition--thank you!"
Matthew"Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."
Nathaniel"This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"
Trisha"Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"
R"This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
