Echeveria Derenbergii is also commonly known as ‘Painted Lady’. The succulent is known to be evergreen perennial and can reach up to 10 cm (4″) tall. It creates a small but dense rosette of fleshy leaves with bristle tips. During late winter you can see yellow flowers with red tips.
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.
Pluck off damaged, diseased or dead leaves as needed. Clip off the flower stalks after blooming is complete.
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.
Echeverias enjoy full sun and appreciate the bright light in a north, east or south sunny facing window when kept as houseplants.Outdoors, plant in a sheltered area with bright light and protected from freezing.
The succulent Painted Lady appreciates a pot with a drainage hole and a well-draining soil consisting mostly of sand and loam.It is forgiving of a wide range of pH levels, and can do well in acidic, alkaline or neutral soil.
