Care Requirements:
Light:
Bright, Indirect Sunlight: Echeveria love bright light. Indoors, a south-facing window is ideal.
Full Sun Outdoors: They can tolerate full sun outdoors, but be cautious of intense afternoon sun, which can cause sunburn.  
Signs of Insufficient Light: If your Echeveria becomes "leggy" (stretches out), it's not getting enough light.  
 
Watering:
"Soak and Dry" Method: This is crucial. Water thoroughly until water drains from the pot, then let the soil dry out completely before watering again.  
Overwatering is Deadly: Echeveria are susceptible to root rot, so err on the side of underwatering.
Watering Frequency: This varies depending on the season, temperature, and humidity. Water more frequently in the growing season (spring and summer) and less in the dormant season (fall and winter).  
 
Soil:
Well-Draining Soil: Use a cactus or succulent mix. This type of soil allows water to drain quickly, preventing root rot.
Good Drainage is Essential: Ensure your pot has drainage holes.  
Temperature:
Warm Temperatures: Echeveria prefer warm temperatures and are not frost-tolerant.  
Avoid Cold Drafts: Keep them away from cold drafts.
 
5. Potting:
Terracotta Pots: These are ideal, as they allow for good airflow and drainage.  
Repotting: Repot only when necessary, such as when the plant outgrows its pot.
 
Key Care Tips:
Avoid Water on Leaves: When watering, try to avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can lead to rot.
Fertilizing: Echeveria don't require much fertilizer. A diluted succulent fertilizer can be used sparingly during the growing season.  
Pest Control: Watch for pests like mealybugs and aphids.  
 
By following these guidelines, you can help your Echeveria thrive and maintain its beautiful appearance.
 
Echeveria Elyse is a low-maintenance succulent that makes a wonderful addition to any plant collection. With proper care, you can enjoy its beauty for years to come.
