1. Basic Introduction to Echeveria 'Lola'
Echeveria 'Lola' is a succulent plant in the Crassulaceae family, small to medium in size, hybridized from Graptopetalum paraguayense and some Echeveria species; the Echeveria parent may be Echeveria gigantea. Because of its relatively easy care and propagation and its romantic pink leaf color, it is widely favored by succulent enthusiasts.
The leaves of Echeveria 'Lola' are loosely arranged in a rosette; they have a waxy white powdery bloom; the leaves are spoon-shaped, flat and slightly concave, with upturned tips; the appearance varies greatly under different lighting conditions. When grown outdoors (full sun), it is pink (possibly with a slight orange-yellow tone), while when grown indoors it is blue-green. The flowers are pale yellow with red spots on the inside, 5 petals.
2. How Do You Grow Echeveria 'Lola'?
1. Watering: Follow the principle of “water when dry”; generally wait until the soil dries out before watering;
2. Light: Give it plenty of light and place it in a lighted environment to grow; avoid exposure to strong sun in summer;
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize according to the growth of the succulent; generally fertilize once every quarter;
4. Soil: Just choose fertile soil with good air permeability.
In summer, once the temperature is above 35 degrees, use a shade net for shading, then slowly stop watering; during the entire summer dormancy period, give little or no water; by mid-September, when the temperature drops, watering can be resumed. Echeveria 'Lola' that has adapted to a sunroom can still grow normally in summer, and its dormancy is not very obvious.
In winter, if the temperature can stay above 0 degrees, water can be given; below 0 degrees, watering must be stopped, otherwise frost damage is likely. Although winter is cold, it is not that no water at all should be given for the whole winter; at appropriate times, a little water can also be given slightly at the base of the plant. Never mist or give a large amount of water. After the temperature rises in spring, normal watering can be gradually resumed.
