4β pot without drainage

@Mactheplanter Well maybe it will or maybe it wonβt depending on how you will be taking care of your plant. The pot the plant is in is not ideal. Here are some pointers that you might want to consider: Light
Bright, indirect light: Place your Echeveria 'Dusty Rose' near a sunny window, but be cautious of strong, direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Aim for at least 4-6 hours of light per day.
Watering
Soak and dry method: Water thoroughly only when the top inch or so of the soil feels completely dry to the touch.
Reduce in winter: Water less frequently during the dormant winter months.
Prevent overwatering: Echeverias are prone to root rot if the soil stays wet for too long.
Soil & Pot
Well-draining soil: Use a specific succulent or cactus potting mix to ensure adequate drainage.
Drainage holes: A pot with drainage holes is essential to allow excess water to escape and prevent waterlogged soil.
Temperature
Warm conditions: Prefers average room temperatures, ideally between 65-75Β°F (18-24Β°C).
Protect from frost: Move indoors when temperatures consistently drop below 30Β°F (-1Β°C) or frost is expected.
Humidity
Low humidity preferred: Normal indoor humidity levels are suitable, but avoid overly humid areas or excess moisture.
Fertilizing
Growing season only: Feed sparingly with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer during the active growth period of spring and summer.
Avoid winter: Do not fertilize during the plant's dormant winter season. Hope this helps!
