Highlights
Echeveria 'Atlantis' (aka 'Peaches and Cream'): Blue-green rosette with light pink leaf margins and a powdery coating of farina. There is a slight wave to leaves and the rosette produces a pink-orange flower on a tall, arching bloom stalk. Similar to Echeveria 'Imbricata' - Blue Rose.
Echeveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.
Like most succulents, they need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
Also known as "Mexican Hens & Chicks", Echeveria can produce new offsets or "chicks" around the base of the mother plant. These chicks can be left to form a tidy cluster or removed and transplanted. Additionally, Echeveria can be propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for more information.

Thanks for your question.
I'd say that your Atlantis plant is suffering from a lack of proper light and is stretching. Many rosette plants will do this if they catch too much shade in order to get above a potential light competitor.
The first step is to either get it under a grow light or relocate it to a place that gets much more natural light. The next step depends on your preference. If it's not too tall, you could leave it as is. The rosette will form again, just on top of whatever stem is there. If, however, it's way too tall and you think it looks dorky, you could behead it.
To do this carefully cut the top clump of leaves off, let that cutting sit for a day to scab over the wound, and then poke the cut end of the… See full answer »

Echeveria cannot tolerate frost. They will have to be brought indoors before a zone 8 winter sets in. They do well in full sun, but they need to be acclimated to full sun conditions slowly.
• Staff Answer
This is actually normal. Many Echeveria drop their lower leaves when these leaves start getting shaded out by the leaves above them. Over time, they can form a short stem. If you want it to keep its compact look, you'll need to behead the plant and reroot the rosette in fresh soil.

Shop Succulent Soil Here
Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.
Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.

Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.

Succulents need deep, infrequent watering, especially during their growing season and when they are young and establishing roots. Only water after the soil is completely dry and the plant feels less firm. Err on the side of underwatering. Watering too frequently is the most common way to kill succulents.
HOW TO WATER SUCCULENTS
- Drench from above using a faucet, hose, or watering can
- Do not mist with a spray bottle (the only exception is for Air Plants)
- Water until it drains from the container's drainage hole. If your container does not have a drainage hole (not recommended), use about 1/3 the volume of the container…

Different succulent varieties have different light needs. You can find the Recommended Light Conditions on each variety's page by scrolling down to the Product Details. We use four categories of recommended light, and some plants can thrive under a range of light conditions.
LOW INDOOR LIGHT
- Can grow indoors without direct sun.
- Placing outdoors in direct sun or on sunny window sills might cause dark burns.
- There are a limited number of succulent varieties that thrive in low light, notably Haworthia, Gasteria, Peperomia, and some Jade…

Many succulent varieties are only available seasonally because of their growing and propagation cycles. During the growing season, we can usually restock sets and trays weekly. Most individual plants will go in and out of stock through the seasons, but they are also restocked weekly when available. Thursday is usually the best day of the week for finding plants in stock. Spring and Summer are generally the best seasons for availability.
Any product that is out of stock has an "Email me when a product is back in stock" button (shown above). Click the button and enter your email to be notified when it's available again. If this button isn't appearing, the plant may have very recently sold out - check back after a short while and the button should appear.

35%-70% isopropyl alcohol works well for killing both mealybugs and spider mites. Spray the affected plant thoroughly, and keep spraying daily until you see no more evidence of pests. General pest prevention strategies include:
- Using very gritty succulent soil and pots with drainage holes
- Providing lots of sunlight and airflow
