Product description
The Echeveria Elegans, often called the Mexican Snowball, is a classic and highly elegant succulent. It forms a perfectly tight, ground-hugging rosette of pale, powdery blue-green fleshy leaves that frequently display pinkish margins in bright light.
Place this plant in absolute full sun, taking care never to touch the leaves, as doing so will wipe off its protective powdery coating. Repot it into a shallow pot filled with gritty cactus soil, and bottom-water it biweekly only when the pot is fully dry.
Please Note: When purchasing plants please consider that each live item is unique and may therefore differ from the images shown, which are for illustration purposes only. Depending on season, some plants may be pruned back to encourage growth and deciduous plants may arrive without leaves.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.
