Highlights
Echeveria 'Sofia' (Bischofberger): This lovely rosette has thick, emerald green leaves and can grow long stems. Moderate stress from direct sun or extended drought can induce a light pink flush at the leaf margins. The rosettes stay under 5.0" wide but the plant can reach 4.0" tall at maturity. This robust, forgiving grower tends to bloom in spring or summer, with red, tubular flowers.
Soft succulents 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. They need bright sunlight, good 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.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
