How to Care for a Wooly Rose Succulent

Fill the container one-third of the way full with potting soil. Cactus potting soil is preferred because it contains more sand than standard potting soil, allowing the water to drain faster.

Transplant your wooly rose into its new container. You'll want to use a container with holes at the bottom that allow the water to drain out. If the soil is not able to drain, the succulent's roots may rot. Cover over the plant's roots with soil and fill the container the rest of the way, but do not pack the soil down firmly.

Water your cactus and place it in a sunny location. If it's spring or summer, you can leave the plant outside. Echeveria prefer a moist soil, so you'll want to check the soil moisture content every few days to ensure it is lightly moist.

Bring your Echeveria indoors when temperatures fall below 40 F. If you live in a tropical area that does not get cold, move your plant somewhere where it won't get rained on. The plant's leaves do not like to get wet.

Reduce watering in the winter, watering less frequently so that the soil dries out.
