Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Blue Echeveria after it doubles in size or once a yearāwhichever comes first.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Itās getting colder and colder where I live, I will have to bring my plants in soon and Iām already low on space so Iām gonna have to either build another shelf or repurpose one I have now. Iām not liking the cold weather so far š here are some babies on my Blue atoll Echeveria. I think the last one may be the beginning of a flower stalk. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Echeveria #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #sundaysuccs

Some updates on a couple succs! šæ 1. Blue Echeveria, she has started growing babies at her base, (not pictured) and also has something growing out the side that could possibly be a flower stalk.. not sure yet. Sheās already grown a lot since I got her, she was starting to etoliate (in store) when I bought her, so I would say I saved her š 2. Graptopetalum Superbum, one of my faves, she has gotten huge I ordered her from Mountain Crest Gardens, and since then she has grown two babiesā¦ one is already a good size! 3. Sedum Clavatum has lots of babies, and has been showing some pink here lately since the temps have been getting colder at night. It warmed back up so itās not as visible as it was. 4. Graptosedum Ghosty, they have grown ALOT since I got them during summer. They have grown alot of babies, I repotted them not too long ago, but the babies are so big they are pushing into each other. š 5. Giant jewel plant, has new growth on the top and the side. I have two jewel plants, however one looks much different than the other. #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #WhatTheSucc #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #Echeveria #sedumclavatum #Graptopetalum #PlantLove

What other plant parents say












Deceivingly tough plant to care for. Very high sun requirements - needs FULL sun. I live in Ohio where it is always overcast and I have had to add grow lights to supplement the lack of sun. Also do not try to fertilize if you donāt have an abundance of sun. I made that mistake and almost killed my babies. They are being rehabbed now.





These plants are super easy to take care of, and are almost impossible to kill! They can survive bright light or low light, and they only need to be watered every 2 months. 10/10 recommend for a beginner plant owner, or somebody who doesnāt have a lot of time on their hands to take care of plants, as this plant needs very little attention.
