Features:

- Versatile Decor: Ideal for container gardening, rock gardens, or as part of a mixed succulent arrangement, Peacock Echeveria adds a touch of elegance and charm to any indoor or outdoor setting.
- Seasonal Blooms: During the growing season, Echeveria peacockii may produce tall flower stalks bearing clusters of tubular, red or pink flowers that attract hummingbirds and add a splash of color above the rosettes.
Care Instructions:
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct morning sun. Avoid harsh afternoon rays to prevent leaf burn.
- Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, ensuring good drainage, and avoid letting the plant sit in water.
- Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent root rot.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 65-75°F (18-24°C). Protect from frost and extreme heat.
