How to fertilize Prolific Echeveria
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 Prolific Echeveria after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

A different type of runner? Hey #Echeveria people, can you clue me into what’s going on here? I have this echeveria which I adore, but it really really wants to reproduce. It throws out these little rosettes all the time, and the little “not really leaves but I can’t remember their name” fall off if you so much as look at them funny. And even sitting on the counter, each one throws out four-ish roots looking for soil. It’s madness. Anyway, I noticed a bit ago that I have three of these runners that were clearly more dense than the ones I’m used to. Just tighter packing, more points. I figured they were flower stalks and let them be. Today, I realized that they’re not growing up like I’d expect flowers to, but they’re actually curving down more than the usual runners do. Any thoughts? #SucculentSquad #Succulents #SucculentLove #Succulent #plantparts #whatisthis #WhatIsHappening #WhatIsMyPlantDoing

She’s a mother!! My dear PVN has a child! They grow up so fast ☺️ Could I just leave the baby with her or would it be best to remove it once she’s a bit bigger? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #SucculentLove #PlantTherapy #Echeveria #perlevonnurnberg #babyplants #babysucculent

Why is it going up? When I got my #Echeveria it was wide a full then the middle started growing up tall. I cut it and planted it… thinking it would go wider, but I was wrong, haha. You can see the mother created a separate stem and it’s growing tall — again! And the cut that I planted is going tall-ER! (Yes I added a chopstick). And I put all the leaves that fell on some soil, so they grew roots and became independent ones that are growing tall. The question is… how to let it grow horizontally instead? 😬

So I missed an entire week of work and it was the week I needed to water my babies. They probably went without light most days. They don't get much natural light because I'm not near a window at work. #Echeveria

Hmmmm, do I separate these three? The big one is clearly feisty. #Echeveria

This is typically how far my plants are away from my windows...too far? too close? Just want to make sure I'm giving the right amount of light. #echeveria #haworthia #happyplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy

Another one of my #EcheveriaLola 💖 this one got etiolated because it was my first #Echeveria ever, and at the time I didn’t understand just HOW much light they need! Lol! (Just to be clear, I do know now and I have dozens of happy succulents under very bright lights 😊) So I did a chop and prop. The original head is happily growing new roots in a tiny terracotta pot, and this one grew 4 new heads. #Succulents are so fascinating! And this one is now my favorite; it’s gorgeous from every angle! #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PropagationStation #ChopAndProp #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulent #WhatTheSucc #PlantAddict #babevila

I simply can’t believe how this echeveria has developed over the summer. I sowed this in spring of 2023 from a echeveria seed mix. This was one of the most remarkable, and has been a real joy for me this summer. #Echeveria #Succulents #SucculentSquad #NewGrowth

I don’t need to water or fertilize it very often and it’s been doing great since I got it. Currently in Lincoln, NE I’m only watering it every 24 days and it’s doing fine. I have it in a decent sized pot with a copper spoons plant.
