Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water thoroughly until drainage occurs, then discard excess water. Overwatering is the most common cause of rot for Echeveria shaviana.

Reduce watering significantly in winter to prevent root rot.

Prune to remove dead, damaged, or dried leaves. You can also prune to control size or shape, or to propagate. Use a clean, sharp knife or scissors. Pruning is generally minimal for Echeveria shaviana.

Easily propagated from offsets (pups) that grow around the base of the mother plant. Gently remove the offsets with a clean knife and allow them to callous for a few days before planting in well-draining soil.

Leaf cuttings are also possible but less reliable.

Repot when the plant outgrows its container or the soil has become depleted, typically every 1-2 years. Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Repot in spring or early summer before active growth begins.

Ensure the new pot has drainage holes.
