As we review the various flowering types of succulents for beginners, we find the beautiful Echeveria 'Lola' Succulent on the top of our list. When someone says succulent, most initially have an image appear in their minds. Often the image that appears is a flowering Echeveria 'Lola' succulent. This is a memorable expression of a succulent plant. It is the type of look we expect from a succulent and what we have all learned to love. Another amazing feature of Echeveria 'Lola' succulents is that they produce yellow and orange flowers. These flowers contrast beautifully with the background of the blueish-green and pink leaves we see on this succulent plant. So the big question is, "How do I care for an Echeveria 'Lola' succulent?" This Echeveria 'Lola' Succulent Plant Care Guide will answer all those questions and more! 

Echeveria 'Lola'Succulent Care Plant Guide :

Flowering Echeveria 'Lola' is a low-maintenance evergreen succulent that thrives in pots. Like many other succulent types, 'Lola' doesn't like the cold! To keep this flowering succulent happy, you must have temperatures ranging from 45-80 degrees. That is why most find she does best indoors unless you have an optimal climate outdoors. As we mentioned, 'Lola' produces lovely yellowish-orange flowers. You can expect to see these flowers bloom in the spring and early summer. If you put this succulent plant outdoors, it's advised to only plant it in containers that can be carried indoors once it becomes cool enough for frost. This type of succulent does best in hardiness zones 9-11.

Echeveria 'Lola' Succulent Watering Guide:

The next question we always get at Succulents Club is, "How much water do succulents need?" Succulent watering is an essential question because this is where most succulent owners go wrong. Succulent plants require very little water. We recommend the 'soak and dry' method for watering Echeveria' Lola' succulents. Watering 'Lola' with the 'soak and dry' technique will be the key to keeping her growing for years. 

To prevent root rot and pests, ensure the succulent soil is dry after watering. As drought-tolerant plants, Lola's (like nearly all Echeveria) prefer a deep watering followed by a period where the soil is allowed to dry out in between watering. Because Lola succulents don't like their roots to stay in soggy soil, I suggest planting them in soils that are a blend of succulent and cactus that drains well. Most succulents cannot flourish in regular potting soil because it retains too much moisture. If you notice that your succulents struggle to survive, the most likely cause is overwatering or moist soil.

How much LIGHT does this type of succulent need? 

When Echeveria 'Lola' succulents don't get enough sunlight, they will start to stretch, as other Echeveria plants do. The ideal light for this type of succulent is full sun to partial shade. If you are going to keep this succulent plant indoors, make sure you place it near a window and dont forget to rotate your succulent often to prevent them from leaning.  

Echeveria 'Lola' Succulent Propagation:

This flowering succulent plant is easy to propagate. This type of succulent is known for her hens and chicks that keep multiplying. You can easily move one of the hens and chicks to another pot. However, Echeveria 'Lola' succulents can be propagated through leaves, cuttings, and offsets.  

Succulent Leaf Propagation:

Leaf propagation is an easy process with 'Lola' succulents. With succulent leaf propagation, the process takes longer than with the hens and chicks method. To propagate with leaves, gently twist the leaf away from the stem while removing it for propagation. Ensure the leaf you receive is a "clean pull," meaning it hasn't been partially attached to the stem. Before planting the leaf on drained soil, please give it a day or two to callus over. Your chances of successful propagation will increase as a result.

Succulent Plant Cuttings Propagation:

Use a clean, sharp knife or pair of scissors to cut a section of the plant slightly above a leaf on the stem in order to propagate Echeveria 'Lola' from succulent plant cuttings. Please place it in well-draining soil after allowing it to air dry for a few days.

Hens and Chicks Method:

Lola will self-produce offsets, hens, and chicks, that can be cut from the succulent mother plant with a sterilized knife or pair of scissors. Place the hens and chicks on well-draining soil after allowing them to dry for one or two days.
