Echeveria Identification Chart

Echeveria Types

Echeveria is a large genus of tropical flowering succulent plants that is native to the mountainous ranges of Central and South America. Echeverias are one of the most popular succulents and are frequently featured in succulent gardens, floral arrangements, terrariums, artwork, and even wedding cakes.

They are also one of the most prolific types of succulents and can bloom several times a year under the right growing conditions—displaying stunning orange, yellow, and red flowers.

Echeveria varieties generally have thick green fleshy leaves. They are easy to care for, look beautiful, and don’t need a lot of water. One of the reasons echeverias are common succulents is that they come in a wide range of colors, shapes, and textures. Their stunning rosette shape, plump leaves, and a large variety of colors give them a striking resemblance to flowers which makes them easy to decorate with.

How To Care For Echeveria

Light

Because Echeverias originate in tropical countries, they require a substantial amount of light in order to thrive. They should receive at least four to five hours of bright, direct light on a daily basis. Placing your Echeveria outdoors during the summer months will help it to thrive.

Echeverias that do not receive enough light will become elongated and leggy, often ‘reaching’ towards the closest source of light. It is also unlikely that they will flower. If you have your echeveria on a windowsill, turn the plant occasionally to ensure that all sides of your plant get enough sun.

On the other hand, too many hours of intense, direct sunlight can result in sunburn.

Water

Echeveria varieties, like most succulents, do not require much water as they store water in their fleshy leaves. Wait until the soil has dried out completely before watering your Echeveria, and then give it a good watering, making sure the excess water drains out from the pot.

If you water too much or too little, your Echeveria will start to wilt, wrinkle, or drop leaves. However, it is better to err on the side of under-watering, as they can quickly succumb to root rot if overwatered. With that in mind, Echeverias should never be kept in damp soil.

When watering Echeverias, always water the soil directly and avoid allowing water to sit on the rosette of the succulent as this can lead to rot and fungal disease.

During the spring and summer, Echeverias will need to be watered more frequently than they will in the winter.

Soil

Echeveria varieties require a well-draining, porous growing medium to help keep excess moisture away from the roots. Standard soil for cactus potting is sufficient for Echeverias, which can be found at most nurseries and garden centers.

If growing in containers, make sure there are drainage holes in the bottom to allow water to drain from the soil. Soil that is constantly damp or doesn’t drain well will result in Echeveria root rot.

Climate

Echeveria types thrive in hot, dry conditions. For the most part, they do not tolerate cold temperatures or cold drafts well and too much humidity can lead to root rot. Echeverias grow well indoors in average room conditions with around 40% – 50% humidity.

During the spring and summer months, your indoor Echeverias need temperatures of between 65 and 80°F (18 – 27°C). During the winter, a few degrees lower will be ideal. Outdoors, Echeverias love warm summers of at least 19°C or 20°C.

Fertilizing

Generally, fertilizing is not a requirement for Echeveria types as they are accustomed to growing in nutrient-poor soil, which makes them susceptible to fertilizer burn if over-fertilized.

However, if you want to encourage healthy Echeveria growth, you can use a cactus or succulent fertilizer or low-nitrogen mix that has been diluted 3 or 4 times more than the recommended dose.

Only feed a small amount every 2 or 3 weeks during the spring and summer months which is their active growing period.

Potting and Repotting

When choosing a pot or container to grow an Echeveria in, it is important to choose the right size. As a rule of thumb for all succulents, choose a pot that is slightly larger than the root ball. This helps to ensure the soil doesn’t stay too damp.

Echeveria types do not require frequent repotting and should only be repotted once they have outgrown their previous container. To repot an Echeveria plant, ensure that the soil is completely dry before removing it from its potting container. Repotting in the spring is usually recommended as the plant will be entering into its active growing period.

Propagating Echeveria

Echeveria propagates mainly through offsets, leaf cuttings and seeds. A mature Echeveria plant will produce offsets from its main stem, which can be separated and propagated as a separate plant. Alternatively, Echeverias can be propagated through leaf cuttings.

If the Echeveria has already formed several rosettes, it is particularly easy to propagate. All you have to do is cut off the rosettes. The offshoots should be at least two centimeters in diameter.

The best time to cut off the rosettes is May. Pluck apart the individual rosettes, then plant them separately.

How Big Do Echeveria Grow?

The size of an Echeveria depends on the species. The largest Echeveria can grow up to 50 centimeters in diameter.
