Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Like most succulents, they need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot.
They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. PLEASE NOTE: Not all young 'Raindrops' have bumps, but they will develop with time.Įcheveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. The leaves of this plant feature a dusty, waxy substance called farina. The rosette can grow up to 6.0" in diameter and produces few offsets. Outdoor shade will produce the best bumps, but direct sun will tinge the bumps and margins a lovely shade of pink. As it matures, this blue green rosette develops round, droplet-like bumps on its leaves.

Your plant will be similar to the ones in the photos, same size. ‘Blue Sky.The pictures do not reflect exact plant(s). In my experience, the echeveria varieties that have given me terminal blooms are Echeveria ‘Afterglow’ and E. When this happens, the echeveria will die after flowering. On occasion, echeveria will throw out a terminal inflorescence inflorescence the complete flower head of a plant including stems, stalks, bracts, and flowers (flower stalk) from the very very center of the plant. I did mention that they GENERALLY don’t die after flowering. See my Guide to Propagating Leaves for my step-by-step leaf propagation process. I also find that the leaves on bloom stalks are more likely to propagate successfully so I remove those as well. I actually cut the bloom stalks off right before they flower because I prefer the energy to go to making new leaves rather than flowers. This is normal and once the flower stalks are removed, your echeveria will begin to perk up again. The energy needed to create a flower stalk can be taxing on your echeveria, so you may notice the leaves starting to look a little shabby. Their small, brightly colored flowers will last for a few weeks and will attract hummingbirds and other pollinators to your outdoor succulent garden. They will bloom yearly in the spring and summer with long arching flower stalks that have several flowers at the ends. Examples are Sempervivum and Agave species. Echeveria are not monocarpic monocarpic A succulent that dies after one bloom. From there, you can propagate propagate breed specimens of a plant by natural processes from the parent stock like taking stem cuttings, leaf cuttings or seeds the lower leaves and babies will form on the remaining stem. Give it the proper amount of light to avoid etiolation again.
Letting the cut end of a stem or leaf dry before planting. If the etiolation is severe, you will need to behead your echeveria, let the cut end callus callus The tougher tissue that forms on or around a cut wound.

Putting an echeveria in full sunlight abruptly will cause irreversible sun damage. To fix this, gradually increase the amount of light over a few days to a week to avoid sunburn. Bending and stretching are their way of trying to reach for more light by increasing their surface area. During the cooler months, their colors really get dramatic because you’ll be watering them less as well.īending leaves and stretching stems indicate low light levels.
The more light your echeveria gets, the more brilliant its colors will become.
