Echeveria subsessilis 'Morning Beauty' problems — and how to fix them
Echeveria subsessilis 'Morning Beauty' (Echeveria subsessilis 'Morning Beauty') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Crown rot
Water trapped in the broad cupped rosette rots the centre. Water only at soil level, ensure good light and airflow, and never let droplets pool in the crown.
Etiolation
The rosette loosens and pales without enough sun. Increase light; behead the stretched head, callus it, and re-root to rebuild a compact rosette.
Farina rub-off
The pale waxy bloom that gives the powder-blue colour wipes off permanently with handling. Lift the plant by its pot and avoid touching the leaves.
Mealybugs
Settle in the leaf axils and on offsets as white fluff. Treat early with isopropyl alcohol on a cotton bud and isolate the plant until it is clear.
