# My Black Prince Echeveria pre and post beheading! He’s looking so…

_Posted by Vee on 2026-05-15_

My Black Prince Echeveria pre and post beheading! He’s looking so much better! The nursery I found him at had him too far from sunlight and not enough of it so he started stretching to try and reach it. I started with 11 leaves for propagation, we’re down to 5, and 3 of the 5 that are there are finally sprouting tendril roots. I think the super brown ended one is done for but he’s still holding a lot of moisture in him, and the thin one at the end is still firm so we’re going to wait and see. 12 hours a day under a medium strength grow light seems to be doing the trick since I don’t have anymore space in the window. The trunk stem sits in the kitchen window and he gets 8-10 hours of full sun
