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.

What the heck is going on?! I noticed yesterday I have a couple yellow leaves on my Echeveria Miranda, looks like leaf reabsorption, no big deal, leave it alone. I turned on my grow lights this morning & gently pinched one to see how it feels. The only way I can describe it is to say it didn't feel as firm (normal for reabsorption) but it also felt plump at the same time. That was weird. Then around where I pinched, clear liquid keeps coming out. I don't know if it's sap or water but it wasn't sticky or anything, no smell. I'm careful not to overwater, I bottom water and that was Sep. 18th, so, 16 days ago. I did have them outside all summer and finally brought them in under the lights last Monday, could it be shock? The rest of the plant is fine and the others are doing good with the transition. A few questions. It this normal? What do you think is causing this? Should I just let it leak, what do I do? Thank you! (P.S. the first pic is where it has been since I brought them inside. I planned to spin them every week.)

Repotting hen and chicks. Is there any way to get the hen and chicks out to repot them without damaging them or disturbing my echeveria? They are squeezed in there and can't spread out and my echeveria is starting to get misshapen.

The bottom leafs of my lipstick plant are starting to look soggy and folding in. I have watered it less thinking that was the problem. Still not much change. I noticed this end of June. Any answers or suggestions? #Echeveria

Does anyone know why only 1 leaf on my echeveria would be soft? The rest are firm and green, just the one is yellowing and soft. I wait til the dirt is completely dry (2 weeks or so) so I don't think I'm over watering. It's outside in the summer sun.

how can i propagate my lipstick echeveria? sometimes healthy leaves fall off and i’ve read and seen posts u can propagate but i can’t quite find the best way to do it successfully.

Propagation from flower stalk My #Echeveria grew a baby on its flower stalk. I already cut the dried blooms but left the baby there... Should I leave it growing on the stalk or plant it separately?

Hi all can anyone please explain why my starburst’s leaves are now turned downwards? See original pic and current pic! Thank you #Echeveria

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.
