Common questions
Can my dog eat the whole echeveria pot?
The plant is safe, but a whole pot of fibrous succulent may cause vomiting simply from volume and fiber. Discourage the habit.
Is the farina (white powder) on the leaves a problem?
No. That powdery bloom is a natural wax and harmless, though it ruins the plant’s looks when handled.
