Origin

Description

Vampire Red Ball is slow-growing succulent. Its maximum spread and height will not exceed 12 inches.  Vampire Red Ball comes in a deep red rosette formation. It features wide leaves that are compact during times of drought or stress. 

Environment

Be careful never to let water sit in the rosette as it can cause rot or fungal diseases that will kill the plant.

Remove dead leaves from the bottom of the plant as it grows. These dead leaves provide a haven for pests, and Echeveria are susceptible to mealy bugs.

When the plant outgrows its pot, allow the soil to dry out and then gently remove the succulent. Remove any rotted or dead roots and leaves. Treat any cuts with a fungicide then repot succulent in a large pot, spreading the roots out as you backfill with soil.

Landscape Use

Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
