Echeveria 'Blue Light' - Soft-Colored Drought-Tolerant Succulent for Beginners

Overview
Echeveria 'Blue Light' is a stunning succulent cultivar cherished for its serene and ethereal beauty. It forms a nearly perfect, symmetrical rosette composed of fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves that exhibit a delicate, soft color palette. This hardy and easy-care plant is an exceptional choice for both novice gardeners and experienced collectors, effortlessly adding a touch of tranquil elegance to windowsills, desks, or outdoor succulent gardens.

Key Features
• Soothing Color Palette: Possesses a unique, soft color blend that creates a visually calming and relaxing display.
• Classic Rosette Form: With proper care, it maintains a tight, architectural rosette shape that stays compact and well-ordered.

Cultivation Guidelines
• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to partial direct sun. For optimal color and compact growth, provide 4-6 hours of morning or late afternoon sunlight daily during spring and autumn. Protect from intense, direct midday sun in summer to prevent leaf scorch. Insufficient light leads to stretching (etiolation) and loss of color.
• Watering: Crucially, follow the 'Soak and Dry' method. Water thoroughly only when the soil is completely dry, and ensure excess water drains freely from the pot. Drastically reduce watering in summer (during heatwaves) and winter (when temperatures drop below 5°C/41°F) to prevent root rot and freezing damage.
• Soil & Pot: Must be planted in a fast-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Using a container with ample drainage holes is non-negotiable for plant health.
• Temperature: Ideal growing temperatures range between 18-23°C (64-73°F). It is not frost-tolerant. Winter survival requires keeping the soil completely dry and maintaining an environment above 5°C (41°F).
• Ventilation: Ensure good air circulation, especially in humid climates or during summer, to prevent pest infestations and fungal diseases.
