Habits of Echeveria runyonii

Echeveria runyonii is a succulent in the Crassulaceae family, genus Echeveria, and summer is its period of vigorous growth.

Echeveria runyonii is native to Mexico and likes a warm, dry environment with plenty of sunlight; its suitable growing temperature is 18~25°C.

Echeveria runyonii is not cold-tolerant, so move it indoors in winter and raise the temperature appropriately. It tolerates partial shade and drought, fears waterlogging, and needs watering only once a week during the growing season.

Echeveria runyonii is a full-sun plant; apart from needing appropriate shading in summer, it can receive full sun in the other seasons.

Care Tips for Echeveria runyonii

Watering: water once a week during the growing season and keep the potting soil dry. In winter, water 1~2 times; depending on the plant's room temperature, the amount of water can be appropriately increased.

Fertilizing: fertilize once a month during the growing season, using diluted cake fertilizer or special succulent fertilizer. When fertilizing, do not splash the fertilizer solution onto the leaves, so as not to burn the leaves and affect their appearance.

Care location: potted Echeveria runyonii can be placed on a sunny windowsill or balcony for care. Shade it appropriately in summer, and move it to a sunny, warm place to overwinter in winter.

Hydroponic care: cut stems and leaves of Echeveria runyonii, insert them into a sand bed to root, then grow them hydroponically. Add a small amount of nutrient solution in spring and autumn; plain water is enough in the other seasons.
