How to Care for Echeveria 'Blue Bird' (4 inch)
Soil/watering: Echeveria' Blue Bird' (4 inch) does not enjoy hot and humid conditions and soil, so choosing loose, breathable soil is better. When watering, please protect the farina from water because the farina can protect the plant from scorching sunburns, pests, and diseases.
Sun: Echeveria' Blue Bird' have high sunlight requirements. Even in the hot summer, it can withstand full light because of the farina, so it will grow even if put in the sun.
Temperature: To protect it from frost and low temperatures (lower than 25°F), try to keep it indoors during winter since Echeveria' Blue Bird' (4 inch) is not hardy.
Propagation: It is simple to propagate the 'Blue Bird' plant by cutting from the mother plant using a clean knife or scissors. Dry it for a few days to create a callous. Use well-draining soil for your new succulent. Water it when the soil dries out.
Other tips: 'Blue Bird' is lovely but easy to "turn flat". Here are some tips to prevent it. First, provide them with sufficient light and control moisture. Except for extremely hot weather in summer, provide it with at least 8-10 hours of sunlight every day. Second, choose a well-draining soil (increase granular soil) to allow excess water to drain as quickly as possible. Third, use scissors to cut off the unattractive leaves near the bottom.

Beautiful plant! Arrived in very good conditions. Thank you 🤗
My succulent arrived in excellent condition! Love it!
My Mona Lisa is absolutely beautiful! Well packaged and hardly any damage! Love, love, love!!
It is doing great would buy from seller again
I love this planter! I put a Hoya compacta in it and I feel like the eventually trailing plant will complement the pot. My only complaint is that finding a compatible drip tray is pretty impossible so I water at the sink
