Care tips for Echeveria purpusorum

Repotting: repot every spring. When repotting, cut off the shriveled dead leaves at the base of the plant and the overly long fibrous roots. Use a mixed soil of peat soil and coarse sand, with a small amount of bone meal added.

Watering: water once a week during the growing seasontime, and the potting soil must not be too wet. In winter, only water1~2time, and keep the potting soil dry. When the air is dry, do not spray water on the leaves; only mist around the pot, so as to avoid water accumulating in the leaf rosette and causing rot.

Cuttings: high survival rate. In late spring, the whole rosette can be used for leaf cuttings or fleshy leaves can be used for cuttings.

Division: propagate by division in spring

Suggested planting combinations: Sedum rubrotinctum, Jingtongzi
