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

Upright shoots of dangling candy corn flowers are usually present in the spring. They come in warm colors from yellow to red and pink. Prune off older dead flower spikes once they are dry and brittle or wait a bit longer and they'll come off with a tug.

Echeveria are cool-colored in light shade, but they can also show warm tones when placed in a sunnier exposure.

Interés especial

Echeverias can be propagated by laying leaves on lightly moistened cactus mix. Wait for roots to form and then nestle them into the soil.

Cutting propagation is also possible on this variety; cut back the stem by half, allow the top to callus and then plant. The bottom will also grow new heads.
