Woolly Rose Plant Care

Echeveria Doris Taylor'

What is the plant

Echeveria ‘Doris Taylor,’ also called the woolly rose plant, is a favorite of many collectors. Doris Taylor is an attractive pale green succulent plant. The leaf tips of this echeveria are sometimes dark and leaves are always quite fuzzy. It has a charming rosette shape reaching 7 to 8 inches (18-20 cm.) around and just 3 to 5 inches (7.6-13 cm.) tall. Try growing a woolly rose in a white container to best display its attractive, diminutive persona. As with most fuzzy leafed plants, little water is needed and leaves propagate more slowly than smooth leaved varieties.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
Water whenever the soil feels dry during the growing season. Water lightly until the soil is moist but not very wet. Woolly rose succulents can go for a long period without water once they are established, but they grow better and faster if they receive regular watering during the growing season. Reduce watering during the winter, allowing the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings.
Fertilizer
Fertilize woolly rose with liquid 2-7-7 succulent and cactus fertilizer during the growing season, from spring to late summer. Add seven drops of the fertilizer to 1 quart of water and sprinkle around the base of the succulent. Fertilize once every two weeks.
Sunlight
Place the woolly rose succulent where it will receive full morning sun or partially shaded afternoon sunlight. If the woolly rose is in a pot, place it out on the balcony or porch during warm, sunny weather.
