The ideal temperature range for Echeveria Agavoides 'Blue Dragon' is 50-70°F, and it should be kept indoors during winter months when temperatures drop below 40°F as they are not resistant to cold temperatures.

Soil/Watering: For your Echeveria Agavoides 'Blue Dragon' plant, you can use a loose and airy medium such as peat/coconut coir or a soil preparation with a higher percentage of granular soil. When the soil in the pot is dry, you can water it. One way to water your plant is to use the bottom watering method. Find a container with a large opening and moderate depth that can hold water, then put the potted plant inside it. The soil will draw water from the container through the hole in the bottom of the pot until the surface of the potting soil is moist.

Propagation by beheading is done by removing a layer of leaves in the middle of the succulent layer of leaves, cutting off the top half of the head with clean scissors or a razor blade, drying the wound, and then propagating the plant.
