How to Care for the Plant

Water
Like all Echeverias, Painted Lady plants have very low water needs. In areas where the plant is winter hardy, once established the plant may get by with just natural rainfall.As with most succulents, it is best to water completely and then allow the soil to dry thoroughly before watering again.
Pruning
Pluck off damaged, diseased or dead leaves as needed. Clip off the flower stalks after blooming is complete.
Fertilizer
If you wish to fertilize, use a low liquid nitrogen fertilizer at half-strength once every two weeks during the growing season.Do not fertilize or water in the winter.
