A great beginner succulent type is the Lipstick Echeveria Succulent:

The lovely succulent Echeveria agavoides "Red Edge," often called Echeveria agavoides "lipstick," typically grows as a solitary rosette even as it ages. Although it is known as "Lipstick" because of its lime green leaves with crimson borders, this succulent type has thick, triangle-shaped leaves resembling Agave leaves. In rocky parts of Mexico, Echeveria agavoides is a natural succulent species. When it has been joyfully "stressed," this lovely Echeveria succulent really shines.

Lipstick Echeveria Succulent Care:

If you own one of these succulents, it is likely that at one point, you asked, "How do I take care of a Lipstick Echeveria succulent?" Echeveria agavoides, often known as "Lipstick Echeveria succulents," thrive in container or rock gardens. It is employable as "filler." Appropriate for pots in rocky areas where stunning floral arrangements can be developed. This succulent type enjoys a lot of light. The best times to look for red blooms are late spring and early summer. 

Watering Succulents - Lipstick Echeveria:

As with most succulents care, they don't need a lot of water. The "Lipstick Echeveria" requires regular watering as other succulents do. The "soak and dry" watering strategy is best. The soak and dry method require soaking the succulent's soil with water thoroughly, then allowing the soil to dry out completely before watering it again. Be careful not to overwater your Echeveria succulent, as this can kill them. 

Echeveria Succulent Planting Location:

Lipstick Echeveria is not cold hardy, so it's best to grow this succulent in a container that can be moved indoors if you live in a region that experiences temperatures below 20° F (-6.7° C). This type of succulent thrives in full to partial sun.

Lipstick Echeveria Succulent Light Care Requirements:

Echeveria agavoides will grow in either full or partial sunlight. It thrives on exposure to the south, east, or west. Lack of light causes the plant to spread out, lose color, grow tall, and have sparse leaves arranged around a long, thin stem. The succulent plant type is reaching for light if it does this. If growing the succulent plant on a windowsill, rotate it occasionally to ensure it receives enough sunlight on all sides. In the middle of summer, keep it bright but skip the hot, burning sun, which can fry them. Also, the dramatically changing amount of sunlight can stress your succulent plants. If you are going to move your outdoor succulents indoors, do it gradually.

Propagation of lipstick Echeveria:

The "Lipstick Echeveria" Echeveria agavoides spreads readily from offsets, plant cuttings, and leaves (although it can be difficult).

Succulent Plant Cuttings:

Use a clean, sharp knife or pair of scissors to cut a "Lipstick Echeveria succulent." Before planting the Echeveria in well-draining soil, remove the stem from the plant and let the cut callous over for a few days.

Succulent Leaves:

Select a firm, healthy leaf to begin "Lipstick Echeveria" propagation from leaves. Gently twist the succulent leaf from the stalk to separate it from the succulent parent plant. Be careful not to leave any leaf on the stem (but its okay to take some of the stalk along with the leaf!). Lay the leaf on well-draining soil after allowing it to callus for a few days. Whenever the succulent soil is entirely dry, add water. Plant the new propagated succulent growth once roots and a rosette have formed and the succulent mother leaf has died away. 

As you can see, Lipstick Echeveria succulent leaves are uniquely pointy with red tips. These succulent types quickly propagate when you take the necessary steps to ensure success. At Succulents Club, we equip you with all the information you need to ensure you can care for your succulents and propagate them. 

Succulent Pups or Offsets:

Echeveria agavoides are Small pups or offsets known as "Lipstick Echeveria" that will grow around the plant's base. These succulent pups will turn into new succulent plants and can be moved to individual pots. Pick them up, then wait for one to two days for the offsets to dry entirely before replanting. It is easy to see that taking care of your succulents can reproduce and fill your home with lots of succulent love!
