Echeveria ‘Strawberry Ice’ is a cultivar from the Crassulaceae family, subgenus Echeveria. The exact origin is not documented, but it is thought to be a hybrid from the Moonstone or “Yingyue” line. 'Strawberry Ice' is a small, rosette-shaped succulent with a flat-round center. The leaves are spatulate to obovate, the leaf surface is smooth, the underside slightly convex. The leaf margin is thin and tapers to a small point. Both the leaf edge and the leaf tip turn slightly red, the leaf color varies from green to yellow-green. In optimum condition, the plant appears compact with a red leaf edge and a translucent yellow-green color - an appearance reminiscent of frozen fruit. Care instructions: 'Strawberry Ice' is easy to care for as long as a few basic conditions are observed. It should receive as much direct sunlight as possible during the growth phases in spring and autumn, as this intensifies the colors and promotes compact rosette growth. If there is a lack of light, it tends to loosen up and turn green. Water regularly during the growing season as soon as the substrate is about 70-80 % dry - permanent drought should be avoided. During the rainy season, make sure there is sufficient rain protection to prevent waterlogging and rotting. In summer, shade, good ventilation and reduced watering are crucial. Only moderate direct sunlight is recommended, as heat and humidity can quickly lead to unattractive, flat growth. The location should not be too warm and the substrate should never be permanently moist; water accumulation in the growing point should also be avoided. An airy, well-draining mixture of peat or coconut fibers with a high proportion of mineral additives such as pumice, perlite or lava granules is suitable as a substrate. For propagation, you can use leaf cuttings or cuttings, ideally in spring or fall. For further care tips, you can refer to the related variety Echeveria ‘Afterglow’ (花月夜), which has similar requirements.
