Light & Temperature

The white Echeveria is a very hardy plant, which thrives in USDA Hardiness zone 9-11.

It has a very high heat tolerance and will even persist through the hottest summers.

The cold tolerance of the plant is also pretty good from 20° – 25° degrees Fahrenheit (-7° – -4° C).

The plant needs light shade in southern regions.

If you are planting them in cooler climates along the coast it’s better to let them bathe in full sun.

At higher elevations, install a bright light to ensure they get plenty of light.
Watering and Feeding

The plant is drought-tolerant and it is better to water more during the spring and summer growing seasons.

However, it’s important to not keep the plant too wet or too dry.

If the soil is too dry, it will begin to wither the plant’s roots.
It’s vital to water the soil and not the rosette of the plant itself.
Water until it begins to run out of the drainage holes.
Repeat this a few times over the course of a few minutes.
You won’t have to water the plant again until the soil dries out.
The most common problems for the Echeveria plants are poor watering habits.
Under and over-watering will cause plants to shrivel, wilt, or droop.
You don’t need much fertilizer since they grow natively in low-nutrient soil.
Adding fertilizer increases the risk of fertilizer burn.
The plant will only benefit from occasional extra boosts, which is why you shouldn’t add fertilizer too often.
Use a slow-release fertilizer at the start of spring or fertilize with a 1/4 strength liquid food monthly.
