Echeveria Care
Echeveria care is similar to that of other succulents. There are 150 cultivated varieties of this plant. Most of the echeveria species are native to areas of southwest Texas and into South America and thrive in punishing heat and dry conditions. They have broad, fleshy leaves, often topped with spines that are adapted to holding water and preventing evaporation. A firm touch can mar the skin and leave marks.
While tolerant of many soil types, they require excellent drainage to prevent root and stem rot. Growing echeveria in an unglazed clay pot which allows water to evaporate, is ideal. Protect these plants from freezing temperatures and store potted plants indoors in winter. Echeveria plants do not need pruning, but it’s fine to pinch off damaged or errant growth when needed.
LIGHT
As natives of southern regions, an echeveria should be planted in a full sun site. They need at least 8 hours of bright light daily. Houseplants should be placed in a southern or western window. Echeveria leaves can sport bold colors to iridescent pastels., but the best colors will result from plenty of sun.
Water
In their wild state, echeverias receive very little water. During rainy seasons, they store water in their leaves in preparation for the dry seasons. The plants' soil should be allowed to dry thoroughly before watering. Container plants require a bit more water than those in the ground. Some echeverias are sensitive to tap water, so it's a good idea to allow the water to sit overnight to off-gas before watering them. In winter, diminish their watering by half.
