The flowering period is in the spring, and there’s pink and yellow flowers that come out of the rosette on a stalk. Violet Queen’s growth is relatively rapid compared to other plants in the same genus. 

Care Tips

Light: They are suitable for growing in a well-lit environment. They can be placed on a brightly lit windowsill or balcony to ensure that the leaves will change color and become firmer. In the summer when the light is too strong, they need to be moved to a ventilated and cool place to maintain the diffused light to avoid burning the leaves.

Water: These plants should be watered as soon as the soil becomes dry. Be careful not to pour water directly onto the leaves when watering. And it’s important to reduce the amount of watering in the winter when the temperature is low or in summer when it is hot.

Soil: The soil used should be breathable enough, otherwise its root system will not be able to breathe and grow. You can use soil mixed with peat soil, coal cinder and some perlite, and you should also apply some base fertilizer to the soil.

Potting: You should pick a pot that’s a bit bigger than the root ball. These plants don’t need to be repotted often and should be repotted when they’ve outgrown a pot.  

Temperature: It is suitable for growing in a warm environment and needs to be controlled at an ambient temperature between 59-82°F (15-28°C). The temperature should not be lower than 41°F (5°C) in the winter, otherwise the Violet Queen will stop growing. So, they need to be transferred to indoor care in the winter and the room temperature should be controlled above 50°F (10°C).

Humidity: Violet Queen grows well in average household humidity levels when grown indoors. They do not like too much humidity.

Care Instructions

Please visit our Succulent Care info page for more details.

To ensure the health of succulents, it is important to plant them in porous, well-draining soil. Succulents require little watering, but don't like to sit in wet soil. To create an adequate cactus mix, simply add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage.

Make sure to leave drought periods between waterings to prevent the plant from water-logging.
