The invention discloses a method for cultivating echeveria. The method comprises the following steps of selecting leaves of a houseleek succulent plant at the ambient temperature of 15-25DEG C, separating the leaves from a parent body at leaf stalks, dipping the leaves in carbendazim wettable powder solution for 2 to 3 seconds, and placing the leaves in a shady and cool place for 6 to 12 hours; mixing bone meal, gardening soil, pine needle and river sand, spreading out the mixture, and watering thoroughly; flatly placing the leaves on the surface of the mixed soil, placing in a shady, cool and ventilated place, germinating new leaves after 1 to 3 weeks, moving the houseleek succulent plant to an outdoor place, and cultivating the plant under the sun for 2 to 4 weeks; keeping the temperature in a range of 5-10DEG C at night and cultivating the plant under the sun in daytime. The mixture of the bone meal, the gardening soil, the pine needle and the river sand serves as a leaf cutting medium, so that the germination rate of the leaves is improved and reaches to more than 98 percent, sources are rich and the cost is low; a mode of cultivation in daytime in an exposing way and planting at low temperature at night is selected, so that temperature difference is enlarged, succulent leaves are rendered with color, and the attractiveness of the leaves is improved.
