How to care for Echeveria Madiba (4 inch)
Sun/Temperature: Echeveria Madiba thrives in ample sunlight but can also tolerate partial shade. It prefers warm climates, with an optimal growth temperature of 60 to 75°F. Avoid exposure to intense sunlight, especially during the midday hours of summer. It is sensitive to cold temperatures, with a minimum tolerance of 30°F.
Soil/Watering: Use well-draining fertile soil, such as a mixture of sandy or gravelly succulent soil. It has strong drought tolerance, so ensure the soil is arid before watering again to prevent root rot caused by overwatering.
Pot: Echeveria Madiba has shallow roots, so choose pots with moderate depth. The pot should have suitable drainage holes to ensure rapid water drainage.
Propagation: Echeveria Madiba is suitable for propagation through leaf or stem cuttings. Insert healthy leaves into succulent soil; they will root and grow independently. The best time for propagation is in spring or summer.
Fertilization: During the spring to early summer, apply a diluted fertilizer monthly. Choose a fertilizer suitable for succulent plants and avoid over-fertilizing to prevent harm to the plant.
