Echeveria 'Raindrops' Highlights:

• Echeveria 'Raindrops' forms an open rosette of large leaves that range in color from pinkish purple to blueish green depending on the conditions under which they are grown. Each leaf has a raindrop shaped bump at the end, giving this rare succulent it's very fitting name. Direct sunlight, cold temperatures, and extended drought cause this Echeveria's vibrant colors to shine through.  
• Easily propagated from leaf and stem cuttings.
• Hardy to Zone 9b (25°-30° F). Echeveria will not survive a hard frost. However, succulents can easily be grown indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window if there is a risk of temperatures dropping below 30° F. If there is only a risk of freezing temperatures for a few days, most succulents do just fine outside if they are covered by frost cloth or a sheet until temperatures increase (I'm talking to you, Zone 9 friends).

Echeveria Care: As with all succulents, it is best to follow a "soak and dry" schedule where you water your plants deeply (until water runs out the bottom drain holes), and then allow your soil to dry completely before watering again. Succulents should always be planted in well-draining cactus and succulent soil and in a pot or container that has drain holes. Be sure to provide your Echeveria with plenty of bright sunlight to maintain its vibrant colors and compact form.
