How to care for Echeveria Queen Rose
Sun/Temperature: It enjoys ample sunlight and can thrive outdoors under direct sunlight and indoors in bright light. However, exposure to intense summer sunlight should be avoided to prevent leaf sunburn. It thrives best in 50°F to 80°F and is not cold-tolerant, so temperatures below 40°F should be avoided.
Soil/Watering: Use well-draining sandy soil or specialized soil for succulents. When watering, ensure the soil remains moist but avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. Typically, watering once a week is sufficient, but watering frequency may need to be increased during hot and dry summer conditions. Before each watering, make sure the soil has completely dried out.
Pot: Use pots with drainage holes made of ceramic or plastic
Diseases and Pests: Root rot may occur due to overwatering. Treatment involves stopping watering and moving the plant to a well-ventilated area to encourage root drying. If this condition persists, consider trimming the affected area and wiping it down with soapy water.
Propagation: Echeveria Queen Rose can be propagated through leaf cuttings. To reproduce, cut healthy leaves and allow them to callus in a dry environment before planting them in dry soil.
Fertilization: From spring , fertilize once a month using a specialized fertilizer containing balanced NPK nutrients for succulents.
