Echeveria Prolifica Succulent Rooted Starter Plant
Estimated delivery between 28 August and 30 August.
The Echeveria Prolifica Rooted Starter Plant is a young, pre-rooted succulent celebrated for its rapid growth and prolific production of offsets. Native to Mexico, this Crassulaceae family member forms compact rosettes of fleshy, blue-green leaves that blush pink at the tips under bright sunlight. The rooted starter is acclimated for easy growth and will mature into a clumping plant reaching 4-6 inches tall and 8-12 inches wide, with potential for tall stalks of yellow flowers in spring or summer.
Ideal for beginners, this drought-tolerant succulent offers a head start over seeds or cuttings, ensuring faster establishment and lush, spreading growth.

Echeveria Prolifica Care Guide
Light and Water
- Light: Full sun to bright indirect light (6+ hours daily). Direct sun enhances leaf coloration.
- Water: Water deeply but infrequently every 3-4 weeks in summer. Let the soil dry completely between waterings. Reduce to monthly in winter.
Soil and Fertilizing
- Soil: Use a gritty cactus/succulent mix (e.g., 50% potting soil + 50% perlite/pumice).
- Fertilizer: Optional feed lightly with diluted succulent fertilizer (5-10-5) once in spring and summer.
Temperature and Humidity
- Temperature: Ideal range: 60-80°F (15-27°C). Tolerates brief frost down to 25°F (-4°C) if kept dry.
- Humidity: Prefers dry air (10-40% humidity). Avoid humid environments.
Pruning, Propagating, and Repotting
- Pruning: Remove dead leaves to maintain tidiness. Trim flower stalks post-bloom.
- Propagating: Separate offsets or take leaf cuttings; let callous for 1-2 days before planting.
- Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years in spring to accommodate spreading growth.
Common Problems
- Root rot: Overwatering or poor drainage. Ensure pots have drainage holes.
- Etiolation (stretching): Insufficient light. Move to a sunnier location.
- Mealybugs or aphids: Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap.
- Sunburn: White/brown patches from sudden, intense sun. Acclimate gradually.
Echeveria Prolifica: Best Locations & Uses
- Rock gardens: Spreads naturally among stones or gravel beds.
- Hanging baskets: Showcases cascading clusters of rosettes.
- Indoor window sills: Thrives in bright, sunny spots.
- Ground cover: Creates lush carpets in frost-free climates (zones 9-11).
- Pet-friendly spaces: Safe for households with cats or dogs.
