The Echeveria Rain Drops plant has oval-shaped leaves with wart-like protrusions, resembling Echeveria Rain Dropss falling on the leaves, hence its name. Generally, it is considered high-quality due to its well-formed leaves and round, glossy warts.
Echeveria Rain Drops plants are spring and autumn succulents, with these seasons being their growth periods. During this time, they require ample sunlight to achieve the best growth, with temperatures ideally ranging from 10 to 25 degrees Celsius. Indoor temperatures are usually suitable, but they should not drop below 5 degrees or exceed 35 degrees Celsius.
Echeveria Rain Drops plants are relatively easy to care for. During the spring and autumn growing seasons, outdoor cultivation can be attempted, watering thoroughly when the soil is dry and providing sufficient sunlight. Insufficient light can cause the leaves to turn green, and the wart-like protrusions on the leaves may shrink. With adequate sunlight, both the leaves and the protrusions turn red, which is very attractive. While they don't go fully dormant in summer, shading, ventilation, and water control should be considered. The proportion of granules in the soil mix can be increased to around 50%.
Characteristics: Plant rosette-shaped, leaves spoon-shaped with a rounder tip at the front. The leaves have pointed tips and wart-like protrusions, resembling Echeveria Rain Dropss falling on them. However, with sufficient light, the leaf edges tend to turn red.
Habitat: Prefers warm, dry, well-lit environments and is drought-resistant. It prefers loose, well-draining soil. When temperatures drop below 5°C, insulation should be provided, and shading is necessary when temperatures exceed 30°C.

Echeveria Rain Drops plants are summer dormant succulents that prefer sunlight and are not shade-tolerant. Under insufficient light, they may become leggy, with increased spacing between leaves, elongated leaves, or even drooping, resembling a pancake. Plants under inadequate sunlight conditions are prone to mealybugs.
During summer maintenance, place them in a well-ventilated and shaded area. Occasionally exposing them to morning or afternoon sunlight can promote better growth.
Echeveria Rain Drops plants are relatively easy to care for, similar to other Peperomia succulents. They exhibit beautiful appearances, especially in late autumn and early winter when the temperatures are suitable for sun exposure, making them easy to reach their optimal state.
