How to care for Echeveria Mexican pulidonis
Sun/Temperature: For optimal growth, the Echeveria Mexican pulidonis requires 5-6 hours of bright, diffused, or direct light daily. If you want to enhance the red coloration of its leaves, then total sun exposure is recommended. However, during the summer, you must avoid exposing it to direct solid light as it can cause sunburn. As part of the Echeveria family, it can tolerate varying temperatures, but it's worth noting that extreme temperatures can impede its growth. Therefore, it's best to protect it from temperatures below 30°F and above 90°F. Maintaining temperatures between 60-80°F is ideal for the Echeveria Mexican pulidoni's well-being.
Soil/Watering: To provide your plant with the best care possible, we recommend using commercially available succulent soil or creating your own with a blend of 50% granular soil, 40% peat soil, and 10% vermiculite or coconut flour. For watering, the soak-and-dry method works great. Avoid stagnant water after watering or rain showers to prevent root rot and other potential issues.
Pot: Make sure you use a pot with drainage holes. It will help keep them healthy. Consider notched pots for Echeveria Mexican pulidonis once the stems have matured for a stunning addition to your garden or interior.
Propagation: You have two excellent options: cutting or leaf propagation. The first step is to carefully select healthy, whole leaves and use sterilized scissors or a sharp knife to make your cuts. Allow your cuttings to dry in a shaded area until the wounds heal. Then, plant them in some dry soil and wait for the roots to sprout. Keep the soil slightly moist until the leaves have successfully rooted, and then switch to the soak and dry watering method.
