s tend to be less tolerant. Most lose their lower leaves in winter; as a result, after a few years, the plants lose their compact appearance and need to be re-rooted or propagated. In addition, if not removed, the shed leaves may decay, harboring fungus that can then infect the plant. Echeveria lavi fg01

Propagation

They can be propagated easily by separating offsets, but also by leaf cuttings, and by
