Care and growing tips for Echeveria Pink Champagne
This is an easy care succulent and with a little effort you can have it looking in top condition year round.
- Use a free draining specialist succulent potting mix
- Choose a container designed for succulents, with a large drainage hole.
- Provide bright light through the year. In summer protect the foliage from very hot sun in the afternoon.
- Water only when the soil dries to prevent fungal problems and root rot.
- Provide protection from frosts and extreme cold.

Watering
Rather than watering the foliage which can cause marks, try watering the soil directly using a spouted watering can or squeeze bottle.
