How to grow Echeveria agavoides (Lipstick Echeveria) in NZ

Grow Echeveria agavoides (Lipstick Echeveria) in a bright sunny position with very free draining soil. Use a quality succulent mix or add pumice, coarse sand, or grit to regular potting media so excess water drains away quickly. Choose a sheltered spot outdoors, or place it near a bright window indoors. Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry before watering again.

Remove old lower leaves as they dry and keep the plant in a bright position to maintain strong colour and compact form. Protect from hard frost and prolonged rain in colder areas. Repot when crowded, using fresh, free draining mix for healthy root growth.
