I'm wondering if Echeverias tend to need more water when they're flowering. I can't remember exactly when I last watered mine, but I know it was a little while ago and it didn't need watering often. Now that it's blooming, I'm concerned it might need more moisture. Does anyone have insights on this?

Yeah, flowering can definitely make your Echeveria thirstier! When they bloom, they use a lot of energy, so they might need more water than usual. It's a good idea to keep an eye on the soil and give it a drink if it seems dry.
Absolutely, Echeverias can get more thirsty when they're flowering! Since they expend extra energy during this time, it's natural for them to need more water. Just make sure you're not overwatering, though! If it looks thirsty, go ahead and hydrate it.
Got it! So if it looks like it needs it, I should water it more often.
