Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' - Multi -Same Plants
Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' is a stunning hybrid succulent plant that was created by Renee O'Connell. This plant is a cross between Echeveria 'Doppler' and an unnamed Echeveria referred to as R-21. The result of this hybridization is a slow-growing plant that produces offsets and creates attractive clusters of rosettes.
The leaves of Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' are fleshy, cool lilac to lilac-pink, distinctively upturned, symmetrical, and have a pointy tip. The rosettes grow up to 10 cm in diameter, and the plant typically reaches a height of around 15 cm and a width of around 20 cm at maturity. The leaves have a softened appearance thanks to a generous dusting of protective layer called the farina. Farina acts as a sunscreen and protects succulents from the sun's UV rays.
The symmetrical leaf arrangement creates an attractive and somewhat quirky look, owing to the uplifted leaves. The center of the leaf rises from the middle in an upturned V shape, giving the plant a cube-like appearance. The leaves are a frosty blue-grey color, with delicate pink edges that become more pronounced in bright light. The intensity of the color will largely depend on how much sun exposure the plant gets, as well as other factors such as the size of the pot.
Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' is a hardy plant that can deal with direct sun exposure to about 35C. However, as with most succulents, it is recommended to provide shelter from strong sun during heatwaves as the leaves can burn. The plant prefers full sun to part shade, and morning sun/afternoon shade is the ideal position during hot summers. The plant is not frost hardy and will need to be brought indoors once frosts are expected.
In terms of care, Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' requires well-draining soil and should be watered when the potting mix has dried up. Overwatering can cause root rot, so it is important not to let the roots sit in soggy potting mix. Fertilize the plant once a month during the growing season with specific fertilizers for cacti to encourage faster and lush growth. Repot the plant once a year in fresh succulent potting mix.
Propagation of Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' is relatively easy, and it can be propagated by offsets, leaves, or seeds. The easiest and fastest method of propagation is by taking cuttings of offsets/chicks which form freely at the bottom of the rosette.
In conclusion, Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' is a beautiful and hardy hybrid succulent that is easy to grow and care for. Its unique cube-like appearance and cool lilac to lilac-pink leaves make it a standout plant in any garden or indoor collection.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
