What other plant parents say







A little bit of a pest magnet, though I think that had more to do with the distributor than the plant itself. Keep watering to a minimum and add sand if you’re using regular potting soil.

since it’s a succulent it’s a great starter plant just to get the gist of it all and is super easy to take care of
I forgot this one amongst the crowd of plants and came back to it attempting to bloom!

It may end up changing color as it grows—mine did, at least.

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