Water: Echeveria mebina thrives in arid environments, requiring minimal watering, ideally every three weeks, and well-draining soil. Adapted for drought, it stores water in succulent leaves. Typically grown indoors, echeveria mebina benefits from containers that facilitate evaporation to prevent root rot.

Fertilize: To care for echeveria mebina, use a diluted succulent fertilizer monthly during the growing season. Avoid winter feedings and reduce frequency for juveniles to bi-monthly. Administer fertilizer post-watering to enhance absorption and prevent root burn. Follow dosage instructions carefully to avoid over-fertilization.

Pruning: To maintain the shape of echeveria mebina, prune redundant or dense branches in spring and fall. For propagation, cut a stout stem with 5-6 leaves, treat the wound with sulfur powder, and plant once healed. Use slightly moist soil for planting.

Propagation: Echeveria mebina propagates effectively through sowing. Use a well-draining soil mix and sow seeds on the surface, pressing gently. Keep moisture consistent without overwatering. Provide warm temperatures and bright, indirect light for optimal growth.

Repotting: Repot echeveria mebina every 2 years in spring, choosing a pot 1-2 inches larger. Use a well-draining container to avoid water-logging. After repotting, water sparingly and keep out of direct sunlight for a week to reduce stress and promote growth.
