Rodway, I agree with @SageTreeheather. Most succulents die after flowering. This is a natural process for succulents that flower-including the Pearl Echeveria. This variety is considered a “monocarpic plant” - which means they only flower and produce seeds once, then they die.
@NewAloeblueelf | I stand corrected. Echeverias are typically polycarpic. Now that we have that settled how can we keep the plant from dying? What can Rodway do to keep Coco alive?
Rodway, once the plant is done blooming, you can cut the blooms off at the base. This will direct the plants energy towards growing more leaves. I will add the #SucculentSquad to this comment section to give more info.
Rodway, after you cut the flowers off, you can plant the stem deeper into the soil, where the leaves have fallen off. If the stem is too long for the pot, you can trim 1-2 inches from the base of the plant. Replant in cactus or succulent soil. Wait about a week before watering. You can also “behead” the succulent. Let the cut heal/callous over before planting into fresh succulent soil in a bright location - gradually increasing the amount of sunlight the plant gets. Watering after a few days. You can also propagate the leaves. Twist the leaves off the main stalk. Making sure the end that attached to the stem is fully intact. Let the leaves air dry for 3-6 days or until calloused over. Then lay the leaves flat in the soil and mist them every other day. Avoid direct sunlight but put in a bright/indirect light location.
