      This blue green succulent displays thick, fleshy leaves arranged in a tight, symmetrical rosette that rarely exceeds 4 inches across. Echeveria 'Chico' features powdery blue-green foliage with subtle pink edges that intensify in bright light, creating a stunning color contrast.

  • Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes. The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
