Care tips for Echeveria purpusorum

Repotting: Repot every spring. When repotting, cut off the shrunken 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 season, and never let the potting soil become too wet. In winter, water only 1~2 times, 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.

Fertilizing: Fertilize once a month during the growing season, and never let the fertilizer solution stain the leaf surface.

Light and temperature: A full-sun plant, but avoid direct sun exposure.

Propagation methods of Echeveria purpusorum

Sowing: Sow immediately after the seeds mature; the suitable germination temperature is 16~19°C.

Cuttings: High survival rate. In late spring, the entire 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, Senecio rowleyanus

Note: When watering, use a squeeze-type curved-spout pot, water along the edge of the flowerpot, and never pour water directly on the leaves.
