Reminiscent of the fan-favorite 'Ice Green', this succulent forms a tight, heavy rosette that feels substantial to the touch. While its natural state is a serene, pale mint green, the 'Tosca Queen' truly reigns when \"stressed\" by bright sunlight or cool evening temperatures—developing a stunning, translucent \"jelly\" glow in shades of vibrant pink red.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to Care for Echeveria 'Tosca Queen'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSun\/Location: \u003c\/strong\u003eTo achieve those coveted \"jelly\" stress colors, 'Tosca Queen' needs plenty of bright, filtered light. A south-facing windowsill or a spot with at least 6 hours of indirect sun is ideal. If kept in too much shade, the leaves may flatten out and lose their vibrant red tips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil\/Pot: \u003c\/strong\u003eBecause the leaves of 'Tosca Queen' are so thick and store massive amounts of water, drainage is critical. Use a very porous cactus mix. We recommend a blend of 50-70% grit (pumice, perlite, or lava rock) to ensure the roots never sit in stagnant moisture. Always use a pot with a drainage hole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWatering: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis variety is highly drought-tolerant. Use the soak-and-dry method: water only when the soil is completely dry from top to bottom. When in doubt, wait a few more days—the thick leaves will provide the plant with all the hydration it needs. Avoid getting water in the center of the rosette to prevent crown rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMore Information\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrimary color: Pale mint green \/ Icy white\u003cbr\u003eSecondary color: Jelly pink \/ Red\u003cbr\u003eCold hardiness: Zone 9b - 11b (Protect from frost)\u003cbr\u003eProduct format: 2'' pot\u003cbr\u003eSuitability: Bright windowsills, succulent arrangements, collector shelves\u003cbr\u003ePropagation: Leaf cuttings\u003cbr\u003eSpecial characteristic: Vibrant \"jelly\" stress colors; Pet safe\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Next Gardener","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43269615779938,"sku":"cxn1788063709066","price":3.81,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0629\/0151\/8434\/files\/echeveria-tosca-queen_1.jpg?v=1788063713","url":"https:\/\/www.harborandgrain.shop\/products\/echeveria-tosca-queen","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
