Parva Succulent Care

Echeveria parva

What is the plant

Echeveria parva succulents form green rosettes with uplifted, tapered leaves that somewhat resemble artichokes. These leaves have pinkish-red tips and margins that disperse down each leaf for the perfect blushing color.

Echeveria is a desert succulent from the Crassulaceae family. ‘Parva’ means dwarf in Latin, so it makes sense that Echeveria parva succulents are a small variety. However, the rosettes are extremely dense, to the extent that they are compared to cabbages. The succulents also delight with golden, bell-shaped flowers on long stems. They are popular with both bees and hummingbirds. Parva offers unique coloring, with icy blue-green rosettes trimmed in blood red accents.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Regular irrigation is an important part of care for echeveria parva plants. Water regularly but not too often during a growing season. As winter approaches, cut down on irrigation. A very worst thing in terms of echeveria parva care is giving your succulents wet feet in winter.
Pruning
Make judicious cuts to encourage new growth. Cut just before a leaf node. Or when cutting back larger stems, cut as close to the main stem as possible.
Fertilizer
As with most houseplants, they will benefit from an occasional feed during the growing season. An organic, balanced, liquid fertilizer once a month during spring and summer is recommended.

Sunlight
If your plant is not getting enough light, the most common sign is the yellowing and dropping of leaves, stunted leaf growth, elongated stems, and a dull-green color. If your plant is getting too much light, then its leaves will have singed tips, burned patches, or will be falling off (yikes!).
Soil
Loam soil facilitates plant growth in three key ways. Aeration: The varied particle sizes in loam create a loosely-packed soil that allows oxygen to flow freely to plant roots. Nutrient retention: The presence of clay in loam ensures that nutrients cling to the soil, rather than being washed out by water.
Temperature
In spring and summer, maintain average to warm temperatures of 65-80°F/18-27°C. The plant prefers slightly cooler temperatures in fall and winter 55-75°F/13-24°C.

Container
Here’s a handy guideline: increase pot size by 2.5-5 cm (1 to 2 inches) in diameter for plants that are growing in pots 25.4 cm (10 inches) in diameter or less. For larger plants, those growing in pots greater than 10 inches in diameter, increase the pot size by 5 or 7.62 cm (2 or 3 inches) in diameter.
