How to fertilize Echeveria Elegans
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Echeveria Elegans after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Leaves falling off:( I live in southeast North Dakota, so it’s chilly here! I keep my house at about 70-73 degrees. My two succulents are loosing leaves in the middle to the bottom of the plant. My other spikey succulents are doing fine! Do I need to move a few plants? If so which one plant is more resilient/easiest to being moved?

wondering if i’m supposed to pick the dead buds off the long curly strands here. I love when this pant is in bloom but not sure how to care for her.

Managed to cater to this beauty, I repotted and invested in a grow light. Any further recommendations? #Echeveria

I am in love with this plant. It can take the cold and hot and sure does love her sun! I have her in a pot with another plant and they get along great. U water her and just let her go. Only have to water every 2 weeks or so. She can handle being very dry.

This plant is one of the easiest to propagate, and to keep the plant looking even you can rotate it every couple days

I got mine as a tiny baby from Walmart and it has doubled in size since I moved it to a slightly larger Bulbasaur planter. It is growing still and it is leaning out of the planter now. I love that it didn’t die when I transplanted it, my track record is bad.

They are easy to take care of and I probably shouldn’t say this but I would go weeks with out watering and it would be fine!
