How to Care for Echeveria during Winter:
Echeveria, also known as "Fei Hua Yu," requires a dry and well-ventilated environment. It is sensitive to overwatering, especially in winter. The soil should be kept slightly moist but not wet—essentially, "dry when dry, wet when wet." After the winter season begins, it's best to avoid watering altogether. Letting the soil dry out will help the plant enter dormancy, which is crucial for its survival during colder months.
If the temperature stays above 2°C to 5°C, your Echeveria can safely overwinter without any issues. During dormancy, these plants have their strongest resistance to cold. However, if you water them improperly during this time, it could break their dormancy, making them more vulnerable to frost damage or rot. If the indoor temperature is too low, you can cover the plant with a plastic bag or wrap it in cotton and straw. You can even store the pot in a wooden box or cabinet to provide extra insulation. Even if the temperature drops below 0°C, your Echeveria should still survive safely.
In some cases, where space is limited, you can remove the plant from its pot after the soil has dried completely. Wrap the bare roots in cotton or straw and place them in a box or cabinet. This method saves space and keeps the plant warm. When temperatures rise to around 10°C, take the plant out of the wrapping, repot it, and place it indoors in a dry and well-lit area. Gradually expose it to sunlight and mist it lightly at noon. Water sparingly as it slowly resumes growth. While this method may slightly affect its growth in the following year, it’s a great option for those with limited space or poor heating systems.
Once winter is over, it's important to reintroduce your Echeveria to outdoor conditions carefully. Spring weather can be unpredictable, so don’t rush the process. Avoid watering too early in spring, as this can undo all the hard work of winter care. Wait until the weather stabilizes and the risk of frost has passed before moving it outside. Then, resume regular care and maintenance for a healthy growing season ahead.
