**How to Care for Echeveria during Winter**
Echeveria, also known as *Feng Hua Yu*, requires a dry and well-ventilated environment. It doesn't like sitting in water, so it's best to keep the soil slightly moist but not soggy. After winter sets in, watering should be completely stopped to allow the plant to enter dormancy. If the temperature stays above 2°C to 5°C, your Echeveria can safely survive the winter. During dormancy, these succulents have their strongest cold resistance. However, if you water them improperly during this time, it may break their dormancy, making them more vulnerable to frost damage and rot.
If the indoor temperature is too low, you can cover the plant with a plastic bag or wrap it in cotton and straw to provide extra insulation. You can even place the pot inside a wooden box or cabinet for additional protection. Even if the temperature drops below 0°C, your Echeveria can still survive if properly insulated.
In some cases, especially when you have multiple plants and limited space, after the soil has dried out, you can carefully remove the plant from its pot. Gently wrap the bare roots in cotton or straw and store them in a box or cabinet. This helps save space while keeping the roots warm. When the temperature rises to around 10°C, take the plant out of the wrapping, place it back in a pot, and move it indoors to a bright and dry area. Gradually expose it to sunlight and mist it lightly at noon. Water sparingly and slowly resume regular care. Although this method might slightly affect its growth in the following season, it’s a practical solution for those with limited space or poor heating systems.
After the harsh winter, it's important to reintroduce your prickly pear (Echeveria) to the outdoors in spring. Spring weather can be unpredictable, so don’t rush to move it outside too early. Avoid watering it in early spring, as this could undo the hard work of winter care. Wait until the temperature stabilizes, preferably after a rain, before moving it outside. Once ready, resume normal care and maintenance.
