Echeveria prolifica, also known as "Little Rose', is a gorgeous succulent that originates from Mexico. This evergreen plant is incredibly prolific and forms rosettes of light silvery-green leaves with hints of pink, measuring up to 8cm in diameter. In ideal conditions, Echeveria prolifica can spread indefinitely, thanks to its ability to produce numerous offsets that mature and produce offsets of their own.
This succulent thrives in direct sunlight and requires at least four to five hours of bright light daily to maintain its compact and colorful appearance. However, too much intense, direct sunlight can result in sunburn. Placing Echeveria prolifica outdoors during summer months is beneficial as it helps the plant to thrive.
Echeveria prolifica is an easy plant to propagate from both leaves and offsets, making it a popular choice for beginners interested in succulent propagation. The leaves of this plant come off easily and have a near 100% success rate when propagated. The fastest results are achieved during warmer months when Echeveria prolifica grows the most. Propagating offsets is also straightforward, with many already having roots of their own. Simply cut off one, leave the wound to heal for 24 hours, and plant in succulent potting mix or directly in the garden.
During dry spells, water Echeveria prolifica when the potting mix dries out. This plant is not sensitive to overwatering and can be left outdoors in the rain. During winter months, Echeveria prolifica does not need to be watered much, especially when overwintering inside, only requiring watering once a month unless it is unseasonably hot.
Echeveria prolifica is a small growing succulent that produces compact clusters of bell-shaped yellow flowers with short and wide petals in early spring and sometimes until summer. These flowers are held atop decumbent, up to 25cm long stalks with easily detached bracts that fall off and root easily to form new plants.
Overall, Echeveria prolifica is an excellent choice for those looking for an easy-to-care-for and visually appealing succulent. Its compact size, ability to spread, and ease of propagation make it a great plant for beginners or those looking to expand their succulent collection.
