Lola 3-4inch

The Echeveria Lola is a popular succulent known for its beautiful, rose-like shape and pastel-colored leaves. It's relatively low-maintenance, but proper care will help it thrive. Here are some care tips for Echeveria Lola:

1. **Light:**
Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal. Echeveria Lola needs plenty of sunlight to maintain its vibrant color and compact shape. Place it near a window where it can get at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Avoid direct harsh sunlight during the hottest part of the day, as it may cause sunburn.

2. **Watering:**
Use the soak and dry method. Water thoroughly, then let the soil dry out completely before watering again.
In general, water once every 2 weeks depending on the climate and season. Be sure to avoid getting water on the leaves, as this can lead to rot.

3. **Soil:**
Plant in a well-draining cactus or succulent mix. You can add perlite or coarse sand to regular potting soil to increase drainage.

4. **Temperature:**
Echeveria Lola prefers temperatures between 65°F and 80°F (18°C to 27°C). It is not frost-tolerant, so bring it indoors if temperatures drop below 40°F (4°C).

5. **Humidity:**
These succulents prefer low humidity. High humidity can increase the risk of rot.

6. **Fertilizing:**
Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted succulent or cactus fertilizer once a month. Avoid fertilizing in the winter months when the plant is dormant.

7. **Propagation:**
Echeveria Lola can be propagated through leaf cuttings or offsets. Allow cuttings to callous over for a few days before placing them on well-draining soil.

8. **Pruning:**
Remove any dead or dying leaves from the bottom of the plant to keep it healthy. This also helps prevent pests like mealybugs.

With these tips, your Echeveria Lola should thrive beautifully in your arrangements!
