What is the plant
The attractive small shrubby Echeveria pulvinata plant only grows about a foot high, with a spreading growth habit that can quickly sprawl many feet. The orange-red flowers appear late in the wintertime and continue into the spring. First, a 1′ foot long flower spike appears. Next racemes of bell-shaped flowers grow. As with all Echeveria plants, the flowers are attractive to pollinators and hummingbirds when planted outdoors. Succulent green leaves grow in small rosettes (no larger than 3″ or 4″ inches across) on long stems. The green leaves of Echeveria pulvinata are covered thickly with white hairs which help protect them from the harsh rays of the sun.

How to Care for the Plant
Water
Never allow the soil to dry out completely, as it may result in wilting. Prolonged dry spells may lead to death of the plant. You may check the moisture level by pressing the soil with your finger. Water the soil and mist the plant on a daily basis.
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
Mix the recommended amount of liquid fertilizer and water in a watering can. Then simply pour the mix into the soil as if you're watering the plant.

Container
Plants that don't like a lot of moisture will need a drainage hole for moisture to escape and for airflow to circulate through the pot. Another important function of drainage holes is to allow water to flush the soil of excess salts from fertilizers.
