Re: Echeveria

If there are any mealy bugs in the area they will make your Echeveria their
home base.  Most echeverias that are sold have mealy bugs because they are
usually grown outdoors in warm climates where mealy bugs are everywhere.
They become serious problem when they are grown inside and their peak
breeding season is Nov-Jan.  Echeveria is the favorite plant.  Because of
the overlaping leaves they have good shelter and are difficult to deal with
because the leaves break off easily.
