Soil/Pot: E. The Next Gardener Huadan, like most succulent plants, prefers to sit in porous and ventilated succulent potting soil, allowing excess moisture to drain away smoothly, and prevent waterlogging and root rot. It is also adaptable to blend your soil mix with perlite, and coarse sand to the regular potting soil at a 1:1:1 ratio. Repot in warm spring to upgrade the porosity to stimulate better growth for this cutie. Gently remove this cutie from the original planter pot to examine whether exits any issues or diseases in the roots. Trim the succulent roots to prevent nasty mold or bacteria diseases. 

Watering: E. The Next Gardener Huadan is a drought-tolerant succulent with abundant water storage in plump leaves, requiring infrequent watering. The Soak-and-Dry method is adaptable to water this cutie. Allow the soil to bone dry completely between waterings to prevent overwatering, leading to rot roots and waterlogged. Immersive watering is also advisable if this succulent is placed in an excellent ventilated airflow location. Generally speaking, it is appropriate to water E. The Next Gardener Huadan deeply once every 10-14 days during the growing season in spring and autumn and reduce the watering frequency in summer and winter to prevent rot roots and fungal diseases. Apply water to the potting soil instead of the rosette or leaves to prevent fungal and bacterial infections. 

Humidity: Like most succulent plants, the ideal humidity range for Echeveria The Next Gardener Huadan is between 30% to 50%. These succulents are native to arid desert regions and resilient to drought weather. The risk of fungal and bacterial infections would increase under high humidity levels, waterlogging the soil and causing root rot. Place this succulent in a well-ventilated area or use a fan to circulate the air.
