When the succulent plant is dormant in the winter, water it less, soaking it completely.  It is also important to use potting soil that allows excess water to drain away from the roots. 

Light Requirements 

Like most succulents, the Echeveria Lola requires full sunlight to partial shade to thrive. The Echeveria plants do best when they receive at least six hours of light per day. However, it is important not to expose it to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, especially in the afternoon sun, as this can cause the leaves to burn.
