This absolute stunner features broad, spoon shaped leaves graced with a gradient of color, ranging in tone from copper, soft purple, salmon, rich brown, to even a bright yellowy green towards the center of each rosette. Unlike many colorful Echeveria, the leaves of Echeveria ‘Melaco’ are glossy instead of powdery, making for an especially unique addition to container arrangements or temperate rock gardens above Zone 10. The rosettes themselves are petite, reaching only 4 inches wide, but feature taller growth than many similar succulents, reaching up to 8 inches in height.
Very bright light is key to ‘Melaco’s fascinating color spectrum, so be sure to place in a sunny windowsill, preferably one with a southern or western-facing exposure. Beyond this, porous soil, excellent drainage, and thorough but infrequent watering will protect the plant from dampness and rot – and further in this vein, it is crucial to water the soil surface directly, rather than pouring water into the rosette where it can accumulate and cause issues.
During the winter months, be sure to protect ‘Melaco’ from frost – and as the temperatures warm in the spring and summer months, your efforts will be rewarded with tall flower stalks laden with bright orange blooms.

“From our garden to your hands — Timesprout brings nature’s calm beauty into your daily moments.”
Succulents love light — it’s their favorite energy source.
Place them where they can enjoy 4–6 hours of bright, indirect sunlight each day.
Morning sunlight is best; avoid harsh afternoon rays that can cause sunburn.
Less is more. Succulents store water in their leaves, so overwatering is the main reason they die.
Wait until the soil is completely dry, then water thoroughly until it drains from the bottom — “soak and dry” is the golden rule.
Good airflow keeps your succulents healthy and prevents rot.
Avoid closed or damp environments; gentle wind and breathable soil are their best friends.
Succulents prefer a mild climate — ideally 60–80°F (15–27°C).
They can handle cool nights, but protect them from frost and extreme heat.
Choose well-draining soil with plenty of perlite, pumice, or coarse sand.
A pot with a drainage hole is a must — roots need to breathe too.
Succulent care is about balance — sunlight, air, and patience.
Treat each plant gently, and you’ll see quiet miracles unfold every day.
Leaf Propagation
• How: Twist off a healthy leaf cleanly from the stem. Let it dry 1–3 days until the end calluses. Lay on dry, well-draining soil; don’t bury. Mist lightly every 3–5 days.
• When to water: Only after tiny roots/bud appear; then water sparingly.
• Light: Bright, indirect light.
• Timeline: Roots 2–4 weeks; baby rosette 4–8 weeks.
• Don’t: Don’t pull with a tear (half leaf fails), don’t keep soil wet.
Stem Cuttings
• How: Cut a healthy stem (5–10 cm). Remove lower leaves. Air-dry/callus 2–5 days. Insert into dry succulent mix. After 5–7 days, mist edges of soil.
• Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid harsh noon sun.
• Timeline: Roots in 2–3 weeks; new growth in 4–6 weeks.
• Tip: Use clean tools; optional rooting powder.
• Don’t: Don’t water immediately; don’t plant before callus forms.
Offsets / Division
• How: Gently expose the base, wiggle offsets free with some roots attached. Let wounds dry 1 day, then pot separately.
• First water: 3–5 days after repotting, small amount around edges.
• Light: Bright light; acclimate to sun over a week.
• Timeline: Resumes growth in 1–2 weeks.
• Don’t: Don’t yank and break the core; don’t overpot (use snug pots).
1. Prepare:
Use a slightly larger pot and well-draining succulent soil.
2. Remove:
Gently take the plant out with its roots and soil together.
Do not cut healthy roots.
3. Inspect:
Trim only black or rotten roots and let them dry if needed.
4. Repot:
Place in the new pot, fill fresh soil around, keep same height.
5. Aftercare:
Keep in bright shade for 2–3 days, then water lightly.
Resume normal care after about a week.
