How to care for Echeveria desmetiana de smelt

Sun/Location: Like other soft succulents, Echeveria desmetiana de smelt can't survive outdoors in cold winter. Bring them indoors and place them by the window to get as much sunlight as possible or under a grow light. In spring and fall, put them outdoors to get plenty of sunlight. Proper shade to prevent sunburn is necessary for the summer.

Soil/Pot: To ensure the health of succulents, they need porous, well-draining soil to live in. Adding grit, pebbles, and perlite to the cactus soil mix will promote soil drainage and prevent root diseases in succulents. Changing the soil once a year will keep the soil fertile.
