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

Is my Echeveria dying? My Echeveria has been losing leaves recently. I thought maybe she's just preparing for the growth season but today I have pulled out a leaf that looks rotten at its end if I see this correctly... I am worried the core might be rotten too - what do you guys think? It tried to flower earlier in the year but the flower bud only grew a little bit then dried out. I can see a new flower bud in there and wonder if the same thing will happen to it. Any help is greatly appreciated 🙏 #succulentsquad #succulentlove #succulents #echeveria

Where on the stem should I prune this? And do I wait til spring? #Echeveria

Is my lipstick echeveria beyond saving? I’ve recently moved out of my parents’ house and initially I’ve left my plants at home while we get settled and I need to repot a few plants, which I couldn’t do in the new place. So I asked my mum to look after my plants, and she has a few of her own so she’s not a complete novice. However, life has been a bit hectic and when I came home for Christmas she admitted she’d lost track and couldn’t remember when she last watered all the plants, including mine. Most of them seem okay, but a few are looking pretty sad. One of the worst is my lipstick echeveria: the bottom leaves (is that even the right term?) were brown and mushy, and some were mouldy, so I pulled them off. The stalk has what looks like mould on it and I can see a few small silver bugs crawling on it. Since pulling off the leaves, the remaining lower ones are slowly going soft and brown as well. Is there any way to save this or is the plant destined to die? Can I take a cutting from the top and propagate a new plant? #LipstickEcheveria

Bug Omg. My plant has PESTS. That's all I'm gonna say.

What is this spot ? I can’t wipe it off. #help #SucculentSquad #LipstickEcheveria

🌵💀✨🎙️ Ladies, gentlemen, and succulent sympathizers… allow me the distinct honor of presenting a creature so resplendent, so botanically baroque, she could only be described as a retired telenovela enchantress reborn in ceramic form. I give you—Doña Calaverita de la Flor 🌺👑🕯️ She is no mere planter. No, no. She is a living reliquary of scandal and bloom, a verdant vestige of passion past. Her skull—painted with the delicate flourishes of Día de los Muertos—whispers tales of forbidden garden affairs and tequila-soaked monologues beneath the moonlight. 💃🌙🌸 Nestled within her crown: a lush coiffure of succulents, thick with drama and tinged in hues of betrayal. Green with envy, purple with pride, and ever so slightly red at the tips—like the blush of a woman who’s just remembered her power. 💅🌿🔥 She now resides upon my woven altar, presiding over the domestic domain with the gravitas of a duchess and the flair of a cabaret ghost. Her presence is a ritual, a reclamation, a reign. 🧺🎭🪦 Mist her gently. Speak to her in whispers. And never—never—ask her about the scandal in San Miguel. She’ll deny everything… but her leaves will tremble with truth. 🌹💀👠 Doña Calaverita de la Flor—a name that deserves to be sung, sobbed, and stitched into the hem of a velvet curtain.

So beautiful and easy to take care of. But be aware, it does have A LOT of hiding spots for little bugs to lay eggs or infest.

This plant is pretty nice, it’s just not a very fast grower.

Seems to grow rather slowly and the leaves will dry up and turn brown if you don’t water correctly. Must clean off dust regularly but be careful as the delicate leaves break off easily.
Browns easily

Don’t get the leaves wet when watering always try to water at the base or around the plant

This plant has grown much faster than I expected. I don’t know if that’s good or bad, it’s been a surprise because I don’t pay much attention to it.

Quite temperamental. Wants to be left alone but doesn’t!

I have ADHD and legitimately forgot I bought this until I found it one day. The other two succulents bought with this one were very dead, this one was alive and is somehow still thriving many months later. I’m pretty sure it could survive anything.
