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

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

how much humidity is too much? i am attempting to prop 150-200 little succulents for an early december wedding. just started mini-greenhousing them, but i have a feeling trapping the humidity is a risk factor for root rot. anyone have experience with this? recommendations? maybe depends on plant/root size? they get two good hours of early afternoon sun and boy are their buckets steamy today. currently uncovered #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PropagationStation #SucculentSquad

i see a problem do you see the problem with my echeveria pink trumpet? stem is usually white, now turning red. bottom leaves are turning yellow. found a few mealy bugs this morning. all signs that this plant is not happy. my solution? reset as soon as possible. so i am going to 'chop & prop'. again. last time i overwatered, which led to root rot. i have learned to check moisture before i obediently water. this time i overfertilized, which has most likely also led to root rot. i have learned that just because my plants perk up, they aren't asking for more 🙈 so, same procedure as in recent 'chop & prop' post about the paddle plant i also overfertilized https:// hope you learn from MY mistakes! #SucculentSquad #ChopAndProp #PropagationStation #PlantsMakePeopleHappy
