Propagation
You can use seeds, offsets, cuttings, or leaves for propagation. Simply dig the plants parts in the soil, cover them, and water them every two weeks until it sprouts.
What sets this succulent apart is that its leaves have green and sometimes blue bumps on the surface. This is what gives it its name, Echeveria Rain Drops because the leaves look like droplets of water!
