-About Echeveria 'Prism'-

Echeveria' Prism' is a succulent plant from the Crassulaceae family, also known as the Echeveria genus. There is speculation that its parentage includes Echeveria 'Tippy' and Echeveria' Blue bird.' Echeveria' Prism' and Echeveria' Tippy' are so similar that many people have both varieties, but sometimes it's hard to distinguish between the two. Echeveria' Prism' is a medium-sized variety with rosette-shaped plants. Its leaves are ovate and slightly thick, with a slightly curved and raised back surface exhibiting distinct ridges. The leaf tips are sharply pointed, and the leaves are bluish-green, with a tendency to turn red at the tips. Echeveria' Prism' thrives with compact and tightly overlapping leaves, which are plump and inwardly curved, often turning red at the leaf tips and outer edges. In late spring to early summer, it produces inflorescences in cymes with bell-shaped, orange-colored flowers.

-How to care for Echeveria' Prism'-

Sun/Temperature: During the spring and autumn growing seasons, provide ample light for Echeveria' Prism'. The plant will exhibit a more compact and plump shape with sufficient light, and the leaves will display a beautiful pink hue. Echeveria' Prism' thrives in moderate temperatures. It prefers temperatures between 65-75°F during the day and slightly cooler temperatures at night. Be cautious not to subject the plant to extreme heat or cold, which can result in undue strain and potential harm.
In the summer, protect 'Prism' from intense, direct sunlight, which can cause sunburn on its leaves. Provide some shade during the hottest parts of the day, especially in regions with scorching temperatures. Proper shading and ventilation will help the plant tolerate the summer heat and prevent water loss.

Watering/Soil: During the spring and autumn growing seasons, Echeveria' Prism' can be watered thoroughly, ensuring the potting soil can dry completely before watering again. Summer care for 'Prism' is not challenging but requires attention to certain aspects. Provide proper shading and ventilation during hot summer days, and be mindful of water control. Avoid creating a humid environment and prevent water from accumulating in the leaf rosettes. For planting, choose a loose and breathable media, such as a mixture of peat or coconut peat and granular soil in a ratio of approximately 55%, to ensure optimal growing conditions.

Propagation: Echeveria 'Prism' has a tendency to produce offsets (also known as "pups" or "babies") around its base. These offsets can be used for propagation, allowing you to create new plants from the parent plant.
To propagate Echeveria 'Prism' using offsets:
    1. Wait for the offsets to grow to a reasonable size. They should have their own set of roots and a few leaves.
    2. Carefully detach the offsets from the parent plant using your fingertips. Be careful not to damage the roots or the parent plant.
    3. Allow the offsets to callus for a day or two in a shaded and dry area. This step helps prevent rot when they are planted.
    4. Plant the offsets in well-draining soil. You can use a succulent or cactus-specific potting mix or create your own using a mixture of potting soil, perlite, and coarse sand.
    5. Water the newly planted offsets sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. As with adult plants, overwatering should be avoided.
    6. Place the newly propagated offsets in a location with bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid placing them in direct sunlight initially, as they may be sensitive to intense light.

Shipping

We pack all shipments by hand. 

We have many years of experience shipping live succulents and cactus plants. We pay close attention to packing and have developed an expert shipping method. All succulents are packed and protected with polypropylene cotton (this is a stuffing used for dolls). We find this is the most effective material for protecting live plants while in transit. It is important to us that you are able to Keep going and Keep growing without any stress about the quality of the product or packaging.

Shipping Speed

In general, it takes 3 to 10 days for plants to arrive after you place your order. All orders will be shipped out 48 hours after you place them. We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package. Estimated shipping times are offered as needed.

HOLIDAYS: During weeks in which a holiday occurs - Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, etc. - shipping may be delayed until the following week.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Unfortunately, shipping is not available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. The transit time is too long, and the plants would be dead on arrival.

Due to numerous factors beyond our control, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And, we can no longer guarantee orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico that get delayed by more than 4 in-transit days. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. Thank you for your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
