Echeveria 'Blue Prince' is a rosette succulent in the Crassulaceae family that evolved in the semi-arid highlands of Mexico and Central America. It grows well in bright light and well-drained soils, making it suitable for beginners indoors or in containers.
The rosettes form tight, symmetrical clusters of thick, fleshy leaves coated in powdery farina that gives them their signature blue-green color with soft silvery-lavender undertones. Leaf tips are gently pointed, and the edges flush with a subtle blush. Over time, it develops a clustering habit, producing offsets that fill out a pot with multiple rosettes, each typically reaching 4 to 6 inches in diameter.
In spring or early summer, 'Blue Prince' sends up arching flower stalks bearing small coral-to-orange bell-shaped blooms. A nighttime temperature drop encourages flowering. The warm-toned flowers contrast with the cool blue-green foliage.
This succulent excels on sunny windowsills, patio containers, and in mixed succulent arrangements. It is pet friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. You can leave it up to ten days without water. Move it outside in summer to a sheltered spot where it can soak up extra sun, but protect it from heavy rain and bring it back inside before the first frost.

Echeveria 'Blue Prince' grows well in bright indirect light to full sun, needing at least 4 to 6 hours of direct or bright light daily.
Water it thoroughly every 10 to 14 days in summer and every 3 to 4 weeks in winter, always letting the soil dry completely between waterings.
'Blue Prince' does best in a fast-draining cactus and succulent mix blended with extra perlite or coarse grit for optimal drainage.
It prefers temperatures between 65 and 80°F and should be protected from frost, as it is not cold-hardy below about 25 to 30°F.
