The Echeveria is slightly poisonous
Lethal poisoning can not be caused by an Echeveria. Nevertheless, you should be careful if you keep the ornamental plant indoors.
Depending on the species, the sap is especially poisonous. It emerges when you cut the echeveria or break leaves. If the juice gets on the skin, unpleasant inflammations can be the result.
Therefore, always wear gloves when cultivating echeveria and make the plant out of the reach of children and pets.
Tips
Echeveria are relatively easy to propagate over leaf cuttings. It is even easier if the plant has formed several rosettes that you can easily separate.
