Lola succulent, also known as Echeveria Lola, can grow to be approximately 6 inches wide and 4-6 inches tall. This compact size makes it a perfect choice for small spaces, such as windowsills, tabletops, or even as part of a succulent arrangement.
One of the most striking features of Lola succulent is its beautiful mint green leaves. These leaves are so pale that they almost appear white, giving the plant a unique and delicate look. The leaves are smooth and fleshy, typical of succulent plants, which helps them retain water in arid conditions.
When exposed to brighter conditions, Lola succulent may develop a pinkish hue around the margins of its leaves. This color change is a natural response to increased light intensity and can add a touch of vibrancy to the plant. Additionally, colder temperatures can also cause the leaf margins to turn pink, creating a lovely contrast against the mint green background.
In terms of care, Lola succulent is relatively low-maintenance. It requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot, so a mixture of cactus or succulent soil with perlite or sand is recommended. It is crucial to ensure that the pot has drainage holes to avoid waterlogging.
Lola succulent prefers bright indirect light, but it can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon. If you notice the leaves stretching or becoming elongated, it may be an indication that the plant is not receiving enough light. On the other hand, if the leaves become yellow or brown, it may be a sign of sunburn, and you should move the plant to a shadier location.
Watering should be done sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot and other issues, so it’s important to check the moisture level of the soil before watering. During the winter months, when the plant is in a dormant state, watering frequency should be reduced even further.
Lola succulent can be propagated through leaf or stem cuttings. Simply take a healthy leaf or stem and allow it to callus over for a few days before placing it in well-draining soil. Keep the soil lightly moist until new roots and leaves start to form.
Lola succulent is a charming plant that can grow to be around 6 inches wide and 4-6 inches tall. Its mint green leaves, which can appear almost white, create a soft and elegant look. The pinkish hues that can develop in brighter conditions or colder temperatures add an extra touch of beauty. With proper care, Lola succulent can thrive and bring a touch of nature indoors.
