Its soft pastel-colored leaves, ranging from light green to blush pink and purple hues, add a charming touch to gardens, pots, or as a houseplant.

Care Instructions for Echeveria Big Lotus Plant:

1. Light:
Echeveria Big Lotus requires plenty of bright, indirect sunlight to thrive. It should be placed in a location where it can get at least 4–6 hours of indirect sunlight daily. Too little sunlight can lead to leggy growth, while too much direct sunlight can scorch its leaves.
If growing indoors, a south or west-facing windowsill is ideal. In outdoor gardens, it should be placed in a sunny spot.

2. Watering:
As a succulent, the Echeveria Big Lotus prefers infrequent watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water the plant thoroughly, ensuring excess water drains away from the bottom of the pot, but avoid letting it sit in water as this can lead to root rot.
During the winter months, reduce watering as the plant enters a dormant phase and requires less moisture.

3. Soil:
The Echeveria Big Lotus prefers well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. If planting it in a pot, make sure it has drainage holes to prevent water from accumulating and causing root rot.
You can also add sand or perlite to the soil mix to increase drainage and prevent waterlogging.

4. Temperature:
Echeveria Big Lotus thrives in warm temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It is sensitive to cold temperatures and should be protected from frost. If you live in a cooler climate, it’s best to grow it indoors during the colder months.

5. Humidity:
This plant prefers dry conditions and does not require high humidity. In fact, too much humidity can lead to root rot and fungal infections. Ensure the plant is kept in a well-ventilated area with good air circulation.

6. Fertilizing:
Echeveria Big Lotus benefits from occasional feeding during the growing season (spring and summer). Use a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer or one designed specifically for succulents. Fertilize once a month during the growing period, but avoid fertilizing during the winter when the plant is dormant.

7. Repotting:
Repot your Echeveria Big Lotus every 1–2 years or when it outgrows its container. Choose a pot that is 1–2 inches larger in diameter than the current one and ensure it has drainage holes. When repotting, handle the plant gently to avoid damaging its roots or leaves.

8. Propagation:
Echeveria Big Lotus can be propagated easily through leaf cuttings or offsets. Simply remove a healthy leaf from the rosette and allow it to callous over for a day or two. Then, plant the leaf in well-draining soil, keeping it slightly moist until new roots form. Alternatively, propagate using the offsets that grow at the base of the plant.
