Echeveria 'Blue Heron'

What is the plant

Echeveria 'Blue Heron' is a rare succulent plant with long leaves variegated in pale blue-green, mauve, pink and cream colors. It is a hybrid of Echeveria 'Pink Frills' and Echeveria peacockii.

The Echeveria succulent is a type of succulent that features fleshy leaves and attractive bell-shaped blossoms in colors ranging from palest white to fire engine red and everything in between. These pretty plants are easily recognized by their compact rosette succulent growth habit and their plump, attractive leaves, which may be tinged with red or pink and may even seem to glow in the right light. Flowers grow on stalks or stems in a wide variety of shades that always contrast attractively with the background color of the foliage. Hen and Chicks is a common name often applied to this type of plant.

How to Care for the Plant

Water
During the growing season, you should water the plant thoroughly periodically. Let the soil dry out completely before watering again. As with many cactus, succulents and other plants that tend to develop root rot easily, it is best to water from beneath rather than with overhead watering.
Fertilizer
Provide this succulent plant a balanced succulent/cactus food about once a month. In the winter, water lightly and less often. Do not provide fertilizer at all during this resting period.
Sunlight
Choose a spot in full sun to partial shade.
