CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Follow these easy instructions to keep your Echeveria happy and healthy:
- Water: Through Spring and Summer, this succulent plant likes to be watered well-using water at room temperature, then allowed to almost dry out before its next drink. Over winter, if temperatures are cool enough, your Echeveria will have a rest period, which will be signalled by slower growth. At this point, reduce watering until signs of active growth resume.
- Light: When grown outdoors the plant is quite tolerant of bright, direct light. But as a houseplant bright, indirect light is best - a location that gets a few hours morning sun would be the perfect spot.
- Humidity: Will cope well with average humidity; in a more humid environment, less watering will be needed.
- Fertilize: Echeveria does not require feeding.
