Care tips for Echeveria purpusorum

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

Watering: during the growing season, water once a week 1time; never let the potting soil get too wet. In winter, water only1~2times, 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 1time during the growing season; never let the fertilizer solution soil the leaf surface.

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

Propagation methods for Echeveria purpusorum

Sowing: sow immediately after the seeds mature; the suitable germination temperature is 16~19℃.

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, Sedum japonicum

Note: when watering, use a squeeze-type curved-spout pot and water along the edge of the flower pot; never pour water directly onto the leaves.
