Echeveria 'Tango' is a striking and colorful succulent hybrid, particularly distinguished by its dynamic coloring and compact, harmonious rosette form. The fleshy leaves display an attractive gradient from rich green to deep red or burgundy. These red tones intensify under direct sunlight or cooler temperatures, especially in the autumn and winter months. The edges of the leaves are often especially emphasized, giving the rosette a lively, almost dancing appearance – perfectly fitting with the name "Tango." Care instructions for Echeveria 'Tango' Light: This plant loves bright light and thrives best in direct morning sunlight or under a grow light. Intense midday sun, especially in summer, can damage the leaves and should be avoided or shaded. The more light the plant receives, the more intense its coloration becomes. Substrate: A well-draining substrate is essential. An ideal mix includes standard potting soil, sand, perlite, or pumice. Alternatively, high-quality cactus soil works well, possibly further loosened with mineral additives. The mineral content should be at least 50% to prevent root rot. Watering: The "thorough watering and dry-out" method is crucial for Echeveria 'Tango' as well: water only when the substrate is completely dry, and ensure that excess water can drain properly. In winter, the amount of water should be greatly reduced. Temperature: Echeveria 'Tango' prefers temperatures between 18 and 27°C. It is not frost-tolerant and should be brought indoors or placed in a frost-free greenhouse when temperatures fall below around 5°C. However, in regions with mild climates, it can be grown outdoors year-round, provided it is protected from rain. Fertilization: Fertilize only during the growing season (spring to early summer), preferably once a month with a diluted succulent or cactus fertilizer. Do not fertilize in winter. Propagation: The plant is easily propagated by leaf cuttings, offsets, or even from seeds. For successful rooting, the substrate should be warm, lightly moist (not wet), and well-ventilated. Special features and use: Echeveria 'Tango' is particularly decorative when combined with other Echeverias in clay pots or bowls. Its vibrant coloring makes it a highlight in any succulent collection, and its easy care makes it ideal for beginners. Its compact growth form also makes it well-suited for limited space, such as windowsills or balconies. Handcrafted and painted plant pot made from breathable, water-absorbing clay, fired at high temperatures – this ensures long-lasting color brilliance and a healthy microclimate for the roots.
