Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' is a stunning succulent plant that belongs to the Crassulaceae family. This plant has a short stem and grows up to 20 cm in diameter and height, producing clusters of rosettes. The leaves of this succulent are fleshy, symmetrical, pointed at the apex, and form a spherical crown. The leaves are a beautiful lilac to lilac-pink color, upturned, and flattened, with a distinctive shape that makes them look like they are cube-shaped. The center of the leaf rises from the middle in an upturned V-shape, giving it a unique appearance.
This plant produces lovely orange bell-shaped flowers from late spring to early summer that are borne by long stalks. The flowers are thin and bright orange, which contrast beautifully against the cool lilac to lilac-pink leaves.
Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' is a slow-growing plant that produces offsets, creating attractive clusters of rosettes. The plant is easy to cultivate and is hardy in warm climates, withstanding temperatures of up to 35C/95F, but it requires shelter from strong sun during heatwaves. It is not frost-hardy and should be brought indoors once frosts are expected.
The plant prefers full sun to part shade, and morning sun/afternoon shade is the ideal position during hot summers. The plant is resilient and can be planted in a sunny spot in the garden, making it perfect for rockeries or succulent gardens. Established plants in the ground are very hardy and need watering only during drought periods.
Watering can be left to the rain, but ensure the soil is dry before watering again. Pot plants should be watered more frequently, but make sure the soil is dry before watering again. Use a good quality succulent potting mix, and upgrade the pot once a year for the best results. The plant can be propagated by offsets, leaves, or seeds, and cuttings of offsets/chicks are the easiest and fastest method.
In conclusion, Echeveria 'Cubic Frost' is a unique and stunning succulent plant that is easy to grow and care for. It makes a beautiful addition to any garden or indoor collection, with its distinctive lilac-pink leaves and cube-shaped appearance.
