This change is a pathology for Echeveria' Perle Von Nürnberg', which makes the succulent lose chlorophyll, and unable to finish photosynthesis. The disease brings its susceptibility, leading to high standards of temperature, watering, and sunlight. But its rare appearing probability makes it a real collection for succulent fanatics.

-How to care for Echeveria' Rainbow'-

Sun/Location: As a soft succulent, Echeveria 'Rainbow' is not cold-resistant. On the contrary, it favors full to partial sunshine. Only with adequate sunlight and ideal temperature can it spare no effort to unfold its glamour. Though sunshine-oriented, the succulent is inappropriate to be solarized for a long time in summer. Shading is needed. So place it close to the window which can provide enough light.

Soil/Pot: Like many other Echeveria succulents, Echeveria' Rainbow' prefer a well-drainage succulent soil to thrive. So combining turf shavings and Coarse Perlite can build a paradise for the succulent. Soil with a faintly acidic condition can be better. Repotting work should be arranged in warm seasons.
