How to care for Echeveria ‘Neon Breakers’ (4 inch)
Sun/Temperature: The plant prefers sunlight and is suitable for placement on balconies or windowsills. During summer, avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf sunburn. The ideal temperature range is 60-80°F. If the temperature drops below 30°F, it’s best to keep it indoors.
Soil/Watering: Use soil and materials like perlite to promote drainage. Watering should follow the “soak and dry” method. You can quickly assess this by inserting a finger or sticking one inch of soil. If the soil feels not dry, it’s not time to water.
Pot: Select a pot with drainage holes at the bottom to filter out excess water. Unglazed ceramic or terra cotta pots are ideal for succulents as they aid in water evaporation from the soil.
Propagation: Using leaves and offsets, you can propagate Echeveria ‘Neon Breakers.’ Picking healthy leaves then let the wounds dry, and then insert them into dry soil, waiting for them to root.
