Care Tips
Echerveria ‘Perle von Nurnberg’ is a hybrid created by a German nurseryman Alfred Graser. Echerverias in general are native to the semi-desert regions on Mexico. Like most succulents, it can be easy to care for with proper soil and watering. A healthy Echerveria will need:
- As much sunlight as you can provide. In full sun, the Echerveria’s growth will remain compact and the colors will brighten. You can observe etoliation (elongation) in my plant because it remained on a shelf away from the window for some time.
- An especially well draining soil is necessary for this succulent, as is the case for most succulents.
- Be careful of overwatering, especially in winter. Wait for soil to dry almost completely before next watering. Lack of leaf firmness is a good indicator of when it’s time to water.
- Take care not to let water accumulate in the rosette.
