Echeveria Plant Care Guide

Light Requirements

Echeveria thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, avoid harsh midday sun to prevent scorching. Learn more about light requirements.

Watering Needs

Water only when the soil is completely dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure proper drainage.

Soil Preferences

Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. Adding sand or perlite can improve drainage. Shop Indoor Potting Mix

Temperature & Humidity

Echeverias prefer warm, dry environments with temperatures between 65–80°F (18–27°C). They are not frost-tolerant, so keep them indoors during colder months.

Fertilization

Fertilize sparingly during the growing season with a diluted succulent fertilizer. Avoid feeding during the winter dormancy period.

Pruning & Maintenance

Remove dried or dead leaves at the base to maintain the plant's appearance. Clean the rosette occasionally to remove dust.

Propagation Tips

Leaf Cuttings

Propagate Echeveria by removing healthy leaves and allowing them to callous before placing them on soil to root.

Offsets

Gently remove offsets (pups) from the base of the mother plant and replant them in fresh soil.
