Echeveria laui aka Ivory Spooned Echeveria

Ivory Spooned Echeveria is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Ivory Spooned Echeveria does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

When it comes to the Ivory Spooned Echeveria, a potting soil that is too moist can cause problems. For this reason, it's important to use a soil mix that is well-draining and does not retain too much moisture. A soil that includes perlite or vermiculite for drainage and organic matter for nutrition is ideal. You can achieve this by simply adding a few scoops of perlite to your store-bought cactus soil.

To ensure optimal growth, the Ivory Spooned Echeveria prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Ivory Spooned Echeveria to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.
