If the newly purchased Echeveria is a bare-root succulent purchased online, it must be pruned and dried before being planted in moist soil. After planting, place it in a cool and ventilated place for a week, and then gradually increase its luster. If you buy succulents in a pot at a flower market or shop, you can move them directly to the south balcony to bask in the sun. Normally, wait until the soil is completely dry before watering, to increase the temperature difference between day and night as much as possible to allow the echeveria to color quickly, and provide plenty of ventilation to avoid the possibility of black rot in the flesh.

1. More light: Echeveria loves light and has strong phototaxis. When maintaining it at home, it should get more sun. Echeverias will grow compactly if there is sufficient sunlight, the leaves will turn blue, and the powder on the leaves will become thicker. However, they still need to be shielded from the sun in summer.

2. Large temperature difference: If you want the Echeveria to be in good condition and color quickly, in addition to letting the succulents get more sun, you also need to give the Echeveria a large temperature difference. For example, if the daytime temperature is 25-32°C and the night temperature is 10-15°C, the Echeveria will definitely grow and burst into bloom.

3. Water less: Echeveria's water needs Not high. During the spring and autumn growing seasons, the watering principle of "dry thoroughly and water thoroughly" should be adhered to. When the soil is close to dryness, water thoroughly. If the temperature is high in summer and low in winter, the amount of watering should be reduced or even cut off.

4. Black rot prevention: Echeverias are not resistant to high temperatures and are most susceptible to black rot in summer. Black rot often occurs at the base of the stems and is caused by excessive watering. Therefore, the temperature is high in summer. Keep the soil dry and provide plenty of ventilation to avoid black rot.
