It reaches about 30cm tall and wide, with pearly shading that is richest in bright light. On long stems mature plants carry yellow-orange bell flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePearly colour.\u003c\/strong\u003e Shades between pink and bluish purple, deepest in bright light, give the rosette its soft, pearly look.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElegant scale.\u003c\/strong\u003e At about 30cm across it is a feature rosette that suits a bigger pot or a gap in a rockery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTall flower stems.\u003c\/strong\u003e Mature plants send up long stems of yellow-orange bells.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGood indoors or out.\u003c\/strong\u003e It grows well in pots indoors in strong light and in sunny positions outdoors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeature pots.\u003c\/strong\u003e A single mature rosette in a wide shallow pot is a centrepiece on its own.

Echeverias are not regarded as toxic to cats and dogs, though any plant chewed to bits can upset a stomach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Perle von Nurnberg Succulent in Australia\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePosition and climate.\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun gives the strongest colour. Introduce a plant to strong summer sun over a week or two to avoid scorch. In warm temperate, Mediterranean and dry inland gardens it grows outside happily, and in the subtropics it prefers a spot under cover from the rain. Protect it from frost, and from cold, wet soil in winter, by growing it in a pot that can sit under cover.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant in well drained, gritty soil, with the crown just above the surface.

In a humid summer that is roughly every ten to fourteen days for a pot, and far less in winter. A half-strength slow release feed in early spring is plenty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePruning.\u003c\/strong\u003e No pruning. Remove dead lower leaves as they dry, and cut flower stems back to the base after flowering. Avoid fussing with the leaves, because handling dulls their colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect when it arrives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerle von Nurnberg Succulent comes as tube stock, a young plant in an 80mm deep tube that establishes quickly once potted into gritty mix. A tube plant is young, so expect a smaller rosette that grows into its pink blush and full size over a couple of seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThick, water-filled leaves help succulents cope with a few days in a box. Unpack on arrival, give the plant a few days in bright shade, and delay the first watering by about a week. Our grower supplies the tubes, and they do sell out from time to time. A sold out tube simply means the grower has none today: press the notify button on this page and we will email you the day it returns.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95.
