Most species grow in the shade and can take some frost. Hybrids tend to be less accommodating about their growing conditions. All the species are drought resistant, but they grow better with regular deep watering and fertilizing.
The Echeveria ramillette can be propagated with offsets, leaf cuttings, and if they are not hybrids, by seeds. Offsets is the easier way.
Most species lose their lower leaves in winter. Depending on your level of humidity, these leaves are fertile ground for fungus that can then attack your Echeveria ramillette. It is better to remove them regularly. Another consequence is that after a couple of years the plants look untidy. It is better then to re-root the main rosette(s) and keep the rest of the plant for propagation.
