Hybrid Echeverias like ample water in late spring/summer when they are growing rapidly. Let the soil dry out between waterings, as they are desert, not swamp plants. Always water the soil, not the leaves, as this can leave residues on the leaves when the water evaporates, as well as ruining the pruinose coating on the surface of some leaves. This is where a good potting mix pays off, as you will not need to immerse the entire pot into a bucket of water to wet the soil properly. c l o s e
