Watering Needs 

Watering your Echeveria agavoides is important, especially during its first season in a new planting container. These succulents need deep irrigation to keep the soil moist, but not too wet. Make sure you check the soil before watering, as these plants do not like to be waterlogged or soggy.  

Usually, watering once every two or three weeks is ample during the summer. In the winter, if it doesn't rain you still should only water your Echeveria less once a month. If the plant doesn't receive enough moisture for an extended period of time, discoloration, pale stems, and browning can occur leading to stunted growth. In contrast, overwatering can cause root rot and fungal infection.  

  

Light Requirements 

If you're looking to grow a healthy and thriving Echeveria 'lipstick succulents’ plant, you’ll need to provide it with plenty of bright, indirect light. Although partial shade in the afternoon is frequently preferable, it is still necessary for these plants to receive at least six hours of strong light each day. 

Although Echeveria plants can withstand direct sunlight and the red color of their leaves develops with a lot of bright, direct light, but the intense scorching rays can cause the leaves to burn. 

  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizers Needs 

When it comes to choosing the right soil for your adorable Echeveria big red plant, it's important to be cautious. This is due to the fact that excessive soil moisture may be the primary factor in the early demise of the majority of succulents and cacti. Planet Desert specializes in succulents and has specialized succulent potting soil that includes an organic substrate with mycorrhizae to help with the growth of a healthy root system to help your succulents thrive. As an alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

When it comes to fertilizing your succulent plant, it only needs a small amount of fertilizer applied once a year in spring. Succulents prefer an organic or natural fertilizer with lower doses of NPK with a maximum ratio of 5-10-5 that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen. 

  

Hardiness Zones & More 

Echeveria agavoides 'Lipstick' plants (Red Echeveria) are native to warm climates, so they prefer warm temperatures, ideally between 50 and 65 degrees Fahrenheit. They're also quite sensitive to humidity, so they thrive in low to medium humidity (30-40%). Avoid putting your succulent plant in a humid area, such as next to a bathroom or kitchen, as this is a haven for mold, pests, and root rot. 

Although echeverias can tolerate a little bit of a cooler environment, they should be kept away from draughts and cold windows. It's important to shield your plant from frost during the winter. This succulent can be grown outdoors in USDA Hardiness Zone 9 -12.
