Echeveria Succulents

General Echeveria Facts

Echeveria is a large genus of succulent plants in the Crassulaceae family, native to semi-desert areas of Central America. These succulents are often in a rosette shape, making them popular ornamental garden plants. Typically, Echeverias are also quite hardy, being resistant to drought and some frosting(Although, we don't recommend testing that if yourself).

Echeveria Succulent Care Tips

First and foremost for Echeveria care is proper watering. The most common problem with Echeveria is overwatering, so make sure to try and keep your watering at a moderate amount in the hot and dry seasons, making sure to not re-water again until the soil is dry again. Another problem would be mealybugs, so keep an eye out for signs of mealybugs making a meal out of your succys. As for general care, make sure to keep your Echeverias in as much sunlight as you can afford during the day(or an indoor grow light if during the winter) with mulch and gravel or sand around them to prevent weeds.
