Care Instruction
Echeveria prefer at least 6 hour sunlight per day. As
indoor succulents, grow them in location with indirect bright sunlight such as near the window, porch or under grow light. Otherwise, they would stretch out/grow tall to prone more light. Outdoor growing can take full to partial sun. Extra shade will protect them from sunburn on hot afternoons in summer.
Like all
cactus and succulents, Echeveria loves light-weight, well drainage soil to live in. Simply mix
perlite,
gritty rocks, and soil can make a good cactus soil mix for them. If you prefer organic gardening, we offer organic and professional
cactus soil mix to you.
Water succulents when the potting soil dries out. The right way to water succulents is using a squeeze bottle or a long neck water can to water the top soil(not water the leaves) till the water leak out from the drainge hole.
Echeveria are cold hardy down to 20F-30F (zone 9-10). Before freeze temperature, move them indoor to help them survive.
Echeveria can be propagated from cuttings of offsets, leaves, and stems.
