How to care for Echeveria Spotted Deer
Sun/Location: Like most succulents, Echeveria Spotted Deer feels happy to absorb full sunshine to partial shade for at least 4-6 hours in the growing period. Place Echeveria Spotted Deer in a bright and sunny location to develop the optimal shape and color and avoid elongation or etiolation. Provide shade with a sheer curtain in summer to avoid sunburnt, and supply the artificial growth light in winter to defend against the server cold.
Soil/Pot: Echeveria Spotted Deer thrives in porous and ventilated potting soil with 70% grain materials such as perlite or pumice, evaporating the moisture smoothly to avoid rot roots. Repot in warm spring to upgrade the porosity and thrive happier. Use the tweezers to discard the dead leaves in the bottom, and wipe foliage gently with a clean paintbrush to keep Echeveria Spotted Deer looking her absolute best.
Watering: Overwater would kill your plants or cause them to develop mold and rot. Water thoroughly when the bottom leaves are soft and wrinkled, or the upper layer of potting soil is bone dry, called the soak-and-dry method. The immersive watering method is also recommendable if placed in a ventilated and breathable location. Pay attention to shelter in the rainy seasons.
Fertilizer: Echeveria Spotted Deer quickly generates side buds, making it essential to spray the slow-release fertilizer. It is recommended to use slow-release fertilizer once in spring and autumn to thrive. Place Echeveria Spotted Deer into the windowsill or any bright, shady areas just after fertilizing to help her to stay compact as this stunner enjoys the boost of nutrients.
