Echeveria Care

Echeveria care is similar to that of other succulents. There are 150 cultivated varieties of this plant. Most of the echeveria species are native to areas of southwest Texas and into South America and thrive in punishing heat and dry conditions. They have broad, fleshy leaves, often topped with spines that are adapted to holding water and preventing evaporation. A firm touch can mar the skin and leave marks.
