You have a very beautiful Echeverias, I like Echeverias because the plant itself looks like flower, no need to bloom. I failed in keeping Echeverias, they always "Melt" after sometimes,
too much water = melt
not enough water = dried, start watering = melt
keep in the shade = melt
too much sunlight = Die
Expose to rain = dead

I have about as much luck as you with echies 👍
my biggest issue in the uk is lack of light indoors . I can keep them ok in the height of summer but In spring fall the plants stretch every time . If I try to withhold water to prevent stretching then I loose too many lower leaves and end up with a plant on a spike . I got sick of restarting them all the time
