In terms of care, the Echeveria Rosetta Taco thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. It is important to water this plant sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. During the winter months, it is advisable to reduce watering frequency as the plant goes into a period of dormancy.
