Allow the compost to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly during winter and avoid allowing water to collect in the centre of the rosette, as this may lead to rot.

Pet Safety: 🐾 Non-Toxic
Echeveria species are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Although safe to grow around pets, ingestion of any ornamental plant should still be discouraged.
Good to Know
Variegated Echeveria cultivars contain areas of leaf tissue with reduced chlorophyll, creating their beautiful cream and yellow patterns. Because these lighter sections produce less energy through photosynthesis, variegated plants usually grow more slowly than their fully green counterparts, making each specimen especially prized by collectors.
