Where it grows

Cultivar with a mutation that does not occur in nature.

Special features

Echeveria ‘Trumpet’ is a small, compact growing succulent with leaves resembling miniature trumpets. The blue-purple colouration lends it the appearance of deep-sea coral. It is also known asĀ Echeveria ‘Pig Nose’.

This cultivar is not to be confused with Echeveria ‘Trumpet Pinky’, which is a large plant with elongated leaves.

Care Guide

Echeveria prefer plenty of light. These plants can handle morning sun, but if grown in a greenhouse they should be kept under 40% shade cloth at most. They should be grown in soil that is airy and drains well, as they can be a bit sensitive to stem rot. Only water in spring and summer, and preferably water from the bottom only. Do not water directly on top of the plant, as water will get trapped between the compact leaves and cause the plant to rot.

Growing season

Product FAQS

In our experience, the best time to repot a succulent is in the beginning of the growing season.

A plant with thick, fleshy tissue, designed for storing water over long periods of time.

If it's only one or two bugs, try to remove them by hand. Alternatively, spray with a pesticide or water with a systemic pesticide. We recommend RoseCare3 or RoseCarePlus, as both these are a combination pesticide and fungicide, which means they prevent insect pests and treat fungal infections.

Succulents do like fertiliser. The general rule of thumb is to fertilise in the growing season. Succulents are quite sensitive, so in our experience halving the recommended dose of general plant fertilizers works well. If it is a fertilizer formulated specifically for succulents and cacti, use the full recommended dose.

Succulents like heavy watering in the growing season, but do need to dry out between watering to avoid root rot.

No, because they are made up of mostly water, they are prone to frostbite.

It is best not to do so. This could stress the plant or burn it. Slowly introduce them by giving them a little bit more exposure each day.

It depends on the amount of sun exposure the window receives. Some succulents will be happy, but the majority will not get enough sunlight to maintain the correct shape. Alternatively, if the window receives too much light, the plant will be burned, as the window will act like a magnifying glass.
