How to prune echeveria 'lola'

Dead-leaf removal year-round; beheading in spring. Peel dead basal leaves downward cleanly without tearing. Remove flower stalks at their base. To behead a leggy plant, use a sharp clean blade, let the cut callous for a day, then set on dry gritty mix to root.

Remove dried lower leaves by gently peeling them off to keep the stem clean and improve air flow. Trim spent flower stalks once blooms fade. If the rosette becomes leggy over time, behead the stem and re-root the top for a fresh compact plant.
