🌿 Echeveria Hybrid Plant
Echeveria hybrids are stunning, rosette-forming succulents known for their geometric shapes, smooth leaves, and often vibrant colors ranging from powdery blue to pink, lavender, or green. Each hybrid may vary in size, color, and leaf form, but all share the classic low-maintenance beauty that makes Echeveria a favorite in succulent collections and decorative displays.
🔆 Light Requirements
Ideal Light: Bright, direct sunlight for at least 4–6 hours a day.
Tolerates: Bright indirect light, but color may fade and growth may become leggy.
Avoid: Low-light indoor corners; without enough sun, they stretch and lose their compact rosette form.
💧 Watering Guidelines
When to Water: Water only when the soil is completely dry.
Frequency: Every 2–3 weeks during the growing season; once a month or less in winter.
Important: Use the “soak and dry” method — water thoroughly, then let drain fully. Avoid water sitting in the center of the rosette to prevent rot.
🌾 Soil & Potting
Soil: Well-draining cactus/succulent mix is essential. You can also blend regular potting soil with sand, perlite, or pumice.
Pot: Use shallow pots with drainage holes. Terracotta is ideal for airflow and moisture control.
🌱 Fertilization
Feed: Once a month during spring and summer with diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer.
Avoid: Fertilizing during dormancy (typically winter).
✂️ Pruning & Maintenance
Prune: Remove dried, crispy lower leaves to keep the plant tidy.
Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf cuttings or offsets (pups) that grow at the base of mature plants.
Repotting: Only when root-bound or outgrowing its pot — Echeveria prefers to be a little snug.
🪴 Humidity & Temperature
Humidity: Loves dry air; no need for additional humidity.
Temperature: Thrives in 18–27°C (65–80°F). Protect from frost — minimum 10°C (50°F).
