Basc Care for Echeveria Autumn Flame PPA

Watering

You can water your succulent more than often in extreme conditions but make sure that the soil is completely dry before watering your succulent again.

One simple tip for you is that you can use some online apps to check the soil status before you go water your succulents. I would recommend the ThePlantsCheck app, it has some nice features there.

Fertilizing

Only feed this succulent during its active growing seasons which means winter. Use the right fertilizer applied in the right amounts. Applying half-strength balanced fertilizer every month or so is recommended for optimal results.

Do not fertilize during winter as the plant is dormant.

Sun & Location Requirements for "Echeveria Autumn Flame PPA"

Echeveria Autumn Flame PPA requires full sun to partial shade in order to stay healthy and vibrant. Always keep an eye on the temperatures and light levels as too much direct sunlight can be damaging to this type of succulent. If you notice any signs of distress, try moving it to a shadier spot within your garden or home.

As per this succulent profile, it is only able to stay healthy when the environment temperature is above the range of zone 10a from 30° F to 35° F (-1.1 ° C to 1.7° C).

When temperatures drop below freezing, it is important to take precautions to protect Echeveria Autumn Flame PPA from the cold. Insulating and providing adequate drainage for the plant are key elements in helping it survive winter weather. Wind and sun exposure should also be minimized to prevent frost damage.

Any succulents in the group will need a medium space to grow. You can place your pot at your table or window. Since this plant needs more space than mini succulents, you should consider do not plant them together with other succulents/plants.

Echeveria Autumn Flame PPA also benefits from some indirect light throughout the day as well, so make sure you give it enough space to soak up light without becoming too exposed to heat.

Propagation

Propagating succulents by leaves is a great way to grow new plants from existing ones. Simply cut off a few healthy leaves from the mother plant and place them on top of a potting mix. Water the soil regularly, keeping it moist but not soggy, and soon you'll have brand new succulents!

Succulents can be propagated easily by taking offsets from the mother plant and replanting them in fresh soil. The offset will eventually grow into a new succulent that is identical to its parent.

Echeveria Autumn Flame PPA propagates easily from seeds, however it's important to look for healthy ones which are plump, dark in color and slightly sticky when touched. To start the propagation process, mix a soil mixture with well-draining potting mix then sow the seeds evenly and press them lightly into the surface. Finally, water the soil using a spray bottle and place it in bright but indirect light to ensure germination.

  1. My /autumn Flame is growing nicely. However, the bottom leaf always turns red, droops, withers and falls off.
    I read somewhere to cover the soil with fine gravel or something to prevent the leaves from touching the soil to prevent the leaf from rotting.
    Is this a normal occurrence for the plant?

    • Hi, this is Linh, may I know how often you water your Autumn Flame? It might be too much watering as well.

      And yes, covering soil is just a trick to avoid bottom leaves to fall off. However, major issues will be still watering.

      You may notice that this succulent requires less water than others

      Hope you have nice plants
