Echeveria Care Guide for Australian Climate:
Light Requirements: Full sun to partial shade. In hot Australian regions (Perth, Brisbane, Darwin), provide afternoon shade to prevent leaf burn during 35°C+ days.
Watering: Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly in Australian winter months. Overwatering causes root rot.
Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Add perlite for extra drainage in humid Australian climates.
Australian Shipping: Ships bare root for freshness. Orders placed before Friday 6 AM AEST ship Monday (or Tuesday if public holiday).
