Echeveria ‘Blue Bird’

Plants are so resourceful at adapting to their environments, and the powdery coating on 'Blue Bird' echeveria is an excellent example. Called farina or epicuticular wax, it helps seal in moisture (think water storage against drought) while also repelling water to avoid rot. The silvery or bluish coating also acts as a sunscreen and prevents the leaves from burning in the hot sun. All in all, echeverias are tough, easy to grow houseplants as long as they get lots of light (indirect indoors, full sun outdoors) and are watered only when the top inch or so of soil is dry. 'Blue Bird' is a wonderful choice for a mixed succulent planter, but don't be surprised if it needs its own space in order to reach its maximum size.
