Soil Type

Water: Afterglow Echeveria is a drought-tolerant plant suited for arid climates, needing minimal watering approximately every three weeks. As an evergreen, it conserves water effectively, retaining its leaves year-round. However, during the growing season, its water needs may increase slightly with rising temperatures and light.

Fertilize: Afterglow Echeveria thrives with balanced 'Succulents and Cacti Food' fertilizer during active growth in spring and summer, every 3-4 weeks at quarter strength. Reduce feeding in fall and winter to avoid root burn. Apply evenly and avoid leaf contact for healthy growth.

Pruning: To maintain afterglow Echeveria's shape, prune in spring and fall by removing dense branches. To propagate, take a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, cut it, apply sulfur powder, and plant after healing. Keep the soil slightly moist for successful growth.

Propagation: Afterglow Echeveria can be propagated via stem or leaf cuttings, which should callous for several days before planting in well-draining soil. It's essential to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Once rooted, provide bright, indirect light and limit watering during establishment.

Repotting: Repot afterglow Echeveria every two years in spring using a shallow pot slightly larger than the previous one to prevent overcrowding. Ensure good drainage and allow the soil to dry post-repotting to reduce root stress, promoting swift recovery for this succulent.
