How to Care for Echeveria minima

Light
Loves bright, direct light. A south facing windowsill is ideal. Outdoors, it prefers full sun with some afternoon protection in very hot climates.

Water
Follow the “soak and dry” method: water thoroughly, then allow soil to dry completely before watering again. Overwatering is the biggest risk.

Soil
Needs fast draining succulent or cactus soil. You can add extra perlite or coarse sand for better drainage.

Temperature
Thrives in temperatures between 65–80°F. Protect from frost bring indoors if temps drop below 30-40°F.

Fertilizer
Feed lightly in spring and summer with a diluted succulent fertilizer once a month. No feeding in fall and winter.

Blooming
In spring, expect coral/pink, bell shaped flowers on tall stems. These blooms attract pollinators and add a splash of color.

Pet Safe?
Yes, Echeveria minima is non toxic to cats and dogs according to the ASPCA. Still, it’s best to discourage nibbling.

Humidity
Prefers low humidity. Avoid misting, as moisture on the leaves can cause rot.

Propagation
Easily propagated by separating offsets (pups) from the base. You can also propagate from leaf cuttings, though offsets are more reliable.
