Echeveria 'Black Prince' quick care tips

Watering

Echeveria 'Black Prince' is a drought-tolerant succulent variety, so watering around once per week in the peak growing season is advised. Ensure the soil dries between waterings. It is also advised to completely stop watering when conditions are frosty, keeping the plant dry for several months at a time.

Feeding

Echeveria 'Black Prince' likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September.

Ideal soil

Echeveria 'Black Prince' needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this. Adding extra grit may be useful to add even more drainage for these desert-dwellers.

A hybrid of Echeveria shaviana x Echeveria affinis.

Echeveria 'Black Prince' is a deservedly popular cultivar of this genus with dark foliage that combines well with other Echeverias and a freely offsetting characteristic. A very dark plant with fierce leaves, as it ages, the older leaves develop a red tint. Beautiful red flowers appear in late summer.

Great for contrasting a succulent display.
