Echeverias are drought tolerant, but they look best with water every couple of weeks once they're dry. Most need some additional summer water or fog drip to survive and thrive, especially away from the coast. Keep an eye out for wrinkled leaves, inward curving leaves, or atrophy of lower leaves, which are indicative of underwatering (or alternately root rot). Remember that some stress like this is normal for echeveria during drought. Avoid watering the crown and especially don't water in the crown late in the day. Aphids on echeveria flower spikes are symptomatic of overwatering while in bloom.

Notas de cultivo

Prune off spring flowers once they are dry and brittle or wait a bit longer and they'll come off with a tug.

This plant makes a beard of old leaves that can be left, or removed to expose a thinner trunk.
