Propagation and care notes for Echeveria 'Purpusorum':

1. Propagation method for Echeveria 'Purpusorum'

Twist off a leaf of Echeveria 'Purpusorum', let it dry for 1-2 days, then lay it flat or insert it at an angle into coarse sand or vermiculite, and let the wound come into contact with the soil; then place it in a semi-shaded spot and keep the soil slightly moist. After 15-20 days, small buds will grow from the wound: as time goes on, the buds grow larger and larger, gradually forming a small rosette-shaped leaf cluster: when the plant has grown to a certain size, take it out and plant it in a small pot, and it becomes a new plant.
