Light Requirements: Prefers full sun to bright, direct light. It thrives outdoors in direct sunlight or indoors on a very bright windowsill. Adequate sun enhances its vibrant pink and purple leaf margins.
Watering Needs: Water deeply when the soil is completely dry. Do not allow the plant to sit in water. Overwatering can quickly lead to root rot, especially if light levels are low or air circulation is poor.
Soil Preference: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix with added pumice or coarse sand to prevent excess moisture retention.
How to Fertilize: Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted, balanced cactus fertilizer once a month or every 6 weeks. Do not fertilize in fall or winter when growth slows.
Hardiness Zone: Suitable for USDA Hardiness Zones 9–11. Protect from frost; grow in containers if winter temperatures drop below 25°F (-4°C).
Pet Safety: Non-toxic to cats and dogs. Safe to keep around pets.
Additional Care Tips: Echeveria 'Neon Breakers' forms dense, ruffled rosettes with dramatic color when grown in full sun. Avoid overhead watering to prevent rot in the leaf rosettes. Remove dead leaves at the base to discourage pests. Propagate easily by leaf cuttings or offsets; allow cuttings to callous before planting.
