Planting & Care

This Echeveria 'Plush Chenille' is shipped as a bare root plant, approximately 3 inches in size. Upon arrival, plant it in a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Choose a location with bright light, such as a sunny windowsill or a spot outdoors that receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight. Water thoroughly after planting, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Avoid overwatering, as succulents are susceptible to root rot in soggy conditions.

During the growing season, water more frequently but always let the soil dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to prevent rot. This succulent is generally pest-resistant and requires minimal fertilization—a diluted succulent fertilizer once in spring is sufficient. With proper care, it will form offsets and may produce small bell-shaped flowers in late spring to summer.
