The fleshy leaves of Echeveria 'Blue Bird' form compact rosettes tinted a soft, powdery blue, thanks in part to a thick layer of seemingly iridescent farina. When exposed to ample light or cooler temperatures, the margins and tips of each leaf will flush pink, adding to the striking aesthetic of ‘Blue Bird.’ An excellent contrasting element within any succulent arrangement, this plant can reach over 10 inches in diameter.

Like many Echeveria, 'Blue Bird' requires bright light to retain its coloration and to maintain its compact rosettes without etiolating. Beyond this, its needs are simple – porous soil with great drainage and thorough watering only when the soil is completely dry. To avoid issues with rot, place ‘Blue Bird’ in a spot with ample airflow, and avoid pouring water directly into its rosettes.

A contented ‘Blue Bird’ will bloom during the spring to fall months with gorgeous orange flowers. And while its soft appearance makes it tempting, try to avoid touching the powdery leaves, as your fingerprints will permanently mar the farina.
