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.

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

R.i.p my #echeveriaplant😔💔 (cause of death: overwatering) Im still a beginner at being a plant mom but losing just a plant really got me thinking if I got a "green thumb" or not. Or maybe I have to kick it in and keep trying during the summer!😊 And so Im just gonna take a break from purchasing any plant. Even though i have the urge to buy another one lol. I mean i dont think there's any plant to withstand this cold but I will do any good #plantmom would do and do more research and do better❤️ R.i.p Sir Plancelot! You shall be remembered.

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.
