Echeveria Shaviana Care Guide
This hardy succulent is easy to grow but requires specific care to maintain its ruffled texture and subtle coloration. Follow these guidelines for thriving plants.
Watering
- Water only when the soil is completely dry and every 2-3 weeks in summer, sparingly in winter.
- Use the soak-and-dry method: water deeply at the base, avoiding the leaves to prevent rot.
- Ensure pots have drainage holes to avoid waterlogging.
Light
- Requires 6-8 hours of bright, indirect sunlight daily to enhance pink edges.
- Indoors, place near south or west-facing windows; use sheer curtains to filter intense sun.
- Too little light causes stretching (etiolation) and loss of ruffled texture.
Temperature
- Prefers 60-80℉ (16-27℃) protect from frost and temperatures below 40℉ (4℃).
- Low humidity is ideal to avoid damp environments to prevent fungal issues.
Common Problems
- Root rot: Caused by overwatering, use gritty, well-draining soil.
- Mealybugs: Treat with neem oil or 70% isopropyl alcohol.
- Faded color: Increase light exposure to restore pink edges.
- Leaf curling: Often due to underwatering or low humidity.
Best Locations & Uses
- Sunlit windowsills, offices, or bright patios with filtered light
- Outdoor rock gardens, succulent beds, or xeriscapes
- Textural accent in terrariums or cottage-themed arrangements
- Wedding décor, table centerpieces, or calming office accents
- Pairs with sedum, graptoveria, or blue echeverias for contrast
- Ideal for small spaces, balconies, or pet-friendly homes
