Highlights
'Lola' (bred by famed Echeveria hybridizer Dick Wright): A gorgeous result of the cross E. lilacina x E. 'Deresina'. Its thick layer of farina (epicuticular wax) gives this sturdy rosette the appearance of pearlescent marble with rosy, blushing undertones.
Echeveria need bright sunlight to maintain their colors and compact rosette form. They will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light.
Like most succulents, they need great drainage and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
Also known as "Mexican Hens & Chicks", Echeveria can produce new offsets or "chicks" around the base of the mother plant. These chicks can be left to form a tidy cluster or removed and transplanted. Additionally, Echeveria can be propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for more information.

Questions & Answers
Popular Questions
• Staff Answer
That's true of a few genera of succulents. Sempervivum, Agave and Tillandsia are three groups where this is true. Because plants in these three groups flower only once at the end of their lives, they are described as monocarpic.
However, most succulents are polycarpic, meaning they flower multiple times throughout their lives. Examples of polycarpic plants include Echeveria, Sedum, Delosperma, Echinopsis (all cacti really), Euphorbia, Pachyphytum, Graptopetalum and many, many more.
If you have questions about whether a plant (or group of plants) is monocarpic or polycarpic, please don't hesitate to ask. We're here to help!

It is! This plant is rooted in a 2" pot.
If you scroll down on any of our plant listings, you'll find a section called "PRODUCT DETAILS". There, you'll find a list beginning with the item "COLOR - PRIMARY". Near the bottom of this list is an item called "PRODUCT FORMAT". That will tell you what size pot the plant ships in or what size plug if that's relevant.

The [limited] tag means there's a limit on the number of those plants you can order at one time. For Echeveria 'Lola' for example, you can order up to five plants in a single order.
To find this number, look right above the "ADD TO CART" button. There you'll find a box with a + and - sign adjacent to it. To the right of this box, you'll see a section called "Max:" followed by a number of units. That's how many of that plant you can order at one time. Note that this "Max:" field only shows up on plants with the [limited] tag.

Yes, just be sure to give it lots of sunshine like on a south-facing window sill. Hardiness zones have to do more with outdoor growing than indoor growing.
• Staff Answer
Consistent moisture helps in the formation of roots while light will help in the formation of shoots. However, patience and persistence are vital to leaf propagation. Some varieties of Echeveria propagate well from leaves while others don't. Keep trying and don't count any leaf out until it shrivels or rots.

Shop Succulent Soil Here
Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.
Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.
• Staff Answer
Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.
Example: Miracle-Gro Quick Start, diluted to half strength
• Staff Answer
Succulents need deep, infrequent watering, especially during their growing season and when they are young and establishing roots. Only water after the soil is completely dry and the plant feels less firm. Err on the side of underwatering. Watering too frequently is the most common way to kill succulents.
HOW TO WATER SUCCULENTS
- Drench from above using a faucet, hose, or watering can
- Do not mist with a spray bottle (the only exception is for Air Plants)
- Water until it drains from the container's drainage hole. If your container does not have a drainage hole (not recommended), use about 1/3 the volume of the container…
