{"product_id":"mixed-echeveria","title":"Echeveria Succulent Lucky Dip","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe perfect surprise for anyone who loves succulents, this selection is a mix of species and varieties of Echeveria. This Genus grows in rosette-like shapes, with its broad, succulent leaves sprouting from the centre of the plant. Coming in a variety of shades, from bright green to silvery turquoise, to those with a hint of pink, these succulents are happy in a window with plenty of light - preferably with a few hours of direct sun - and with their soil left to dry out between waters. Every plant in this mix is full of personality, with funky shapes and striking colours to add to your collection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eEcheveria \u003c\/em\u003espp. (Echeverría's Plant)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThis Genus was first written about under its current name in 1828.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Name(s)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eEcheveria, Succulent, Rosette Succulent\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eNative to semi-desert regions of Central and South America, particularly Mexico.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eMost Echeveria varieties are happy with a variety of bright light levels, but will prefer a few hours of direct sun where possible.
