The pink edged Echeveria prolifica is a fast-growing, quickly reproducing perennial succulent Echeveria plant.The species does not exist in the wild, and it’s speculated all existing plants are the result of cultivation by vegetative offsets of the original specimen and are, therefore, genetically identical.The first recorded specimen was discovered by Felipe Otero and Jorge Meyran at a Mexican roadside nursery in 1969.Deadhead These 10 Annuals For Blooms Spring To Frost!
As with all succulents, it’s best to wait until the soil is dry and then water your Prolific Echeveria deeply.Water from below or water the soil.Do not water from overhead or allow the plant to stand in water.
Keep it outdoors in a full sun setting to prevent the plant from stretching to attain ample sunlight.Bright sunlight is necessary to encourage the foliage to turn pink.When kept as an indoor plant, choose a setting providing ample amounts of bright indirect sunlight.
If you wish, you may feed a weak solution of low nitrogen, slow-release succulent fertilizer at the start of the growing season.Use a solution half or a quarter as strong as recommended in the directions.Do not fertilize in the winter.
Sharp drainage is essential for Echeveria health.Be sure to use an especially prepared potting mix for succulents, or make your own.Remember a substrate for succulents should be made up of 50% – 70% gritty material such as perlite, pumice, or coarse sand.
Trim offsets as needed to help your plants maintain an attractive shape and manageable size.Cut flower stalks after blooming, and tidy up withered and dead leaves to help prevent infestation by scale pests and problems with fungus.
These plants cannot tolerate a hard frost, 20° degrees Fahrenheit or below (-7° C).If you live in an area where the ground freezes in the winter, you’ll need to keep your plant in containers to bring in and out.
