Know before you buy
Shipping bare-rooted means the plant arrives without soil or a pot to protect its root system during transit. You will need to have a small pot and well-draining succulent soil ready to plant it immediately upon arrival.
To keep its vibrant blue-green and pink hues, this plant requires plenty of bright, indirect light or several hours of direct sun. If the plant begins to stretch or lose its color, it is likely not receiving enough light and should be moved to a sunnier spot.
The best way to water is to wait until the soil is completely dry throughout the pot. If you are unsure, check the leaves; when the plant is thirsty, the leaves may feel slightly soft or lose their firm, plump texture.
Yes, the Echeveria Blue Bird is considered an easy-care plant. Its drought tolerance makes it forgiving if you occasionally forget to water it, provided it is kept in a well-lit area.
While it arrives in a 2.5-inch pot, this succulent will continue to grow and fill out its rosette shape over time. You can eventually repot it into a slightly larger container once the roots have filled the current space.
