Description

Sun/Location: Like most easy-to-care-for succulent plants, Echeveria 'Orion' thrives in ample indirect sunlight. Providing more light and temperature fluctuations is essential to achieve its thriving state. Therefore, moving the plant outdoors to a patio or garden during spring and autumn is recommended, as succulents tend to develop deeper red hues under stress. However, it is prone to sunburn in the summer and may require shading or relocation to indoor areas. Soil/Pot: Echeveria 'Orion' thrives in well-draining soil, so choosing a succulent potting mix specifically formulated for succulents or cactus is essential. A mixture including perlite or pumice helps improve drainage and prevents the succulent from sitting in water. Select a planter pot with drainage holes to allow excess water to escape quickly and avoid waterlogging. Watering: Proper watering is crucial for Echeveria 'Orion' care. It is recommended to follow a "soak and dry" approach. The succulent watering way can prevent overwatering and potential root rot. During the active growth period, typically in spring and fall, you may need to water more frequently. However, reduce the frequency during the plant's dormant period in summer and winter.
