Plant Care
- Light: Echeveria Prolifica Moran thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon, but protect it from intense midday sun, which can cause leaf scorch.
- Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the active growing season (spring and summer), water more frequently, but reduce watering in winter when the plant is dormant.
- Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. The soil should be gritty and provide good aeration to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
- Temperature: Echeveria Prolifica Moran prefers moderate temperatures between 59-86°F (15-30°C). It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures but should be protected from frost.
- Humidity: This succulent species prefers low to moderate humidity levels typical of arid environments. It can adapt to indoor conditions but benefits from good air circulation.
- Fertilization: Feed sparingly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the dormant period in winter.
- Container: Choose a well-draining pot with adequate drainage holes for Echeveria Prolifica Moran. The pot should be slightly larger than the plant’s root ball to allow for growth.
- Pruning: Trim any dead or damaged leaves as needed to maintain the plant’s appearance and health. Remove spent flower stalks after blooming to encourage new growth.
- Propagation: Propagate Echeveria Prolifica Moran from leaf or stem cuttings. Allow the cuttings to callus for a few days before planting them in well-draining soil.
- Pests: Keep an eye out for common succulent pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
- Support: Echeveria Prolifica Moran is generally self-supporting and does not require additional support under normal conditions.
