How to care for Echeveria Amoena Perote
Sun/Temperature: Echeveria Amoena Perote thrives in ample sunlight, so it's best placed in sunny spots like balconies or near windows. However, during high summer temperatures, it's advisable to avoid direct sunlight. Some shading can be provided around noon. This succulent prefers to grow in warm climates, with the ideal temperature ranging between 60°F and 80°F. The lowest temperature should not drop below 30°F.
Soil/Watering: Opt for well-draining, fertile sandy soil. You can use specialized succulent soil or a homemade mixture, such as combining perlite, pumice, and peat moss. Succulents typically require moderate watering to prevent root rot caused by excessive moisture. Generally, ensure the soil is arid before watering again.
Pot: Choose pots with good ventilation and ensure drainage holes are at the bottom to facilitate water drainage.
Propagation: Echeveria Amoena 'Perote' can be propagated through leaf propagation , offsets, or seeds. Take healthy leaves, let them callus in a dry, ventilated environment, then place them in moist soil. After about two to three weeks, new seedlings will begin to grow.
Fertilization: Succulents don't need frequent fertilization, but you can apply fertilizer monthly during their active growing season. Choose a fertilizer formula suitable for succulents.

Winter shipping
We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round.
