Echeveria 'Blue Atoll' Succulent Plants for Sale Online
Echeveria 'Blue Atoll' is an evergreen compact succulent plant with blue-green foliage that forms a rosette. The thick leaves are meant to hold water making the plant drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, and ultimately, low-maintenance. In the spring, the Echeveria Blue Atoll sprouts orange and yellow flowers which contrast beautifully with the blue-green foliage on the plant.
This succulent plant is ideal for hanging baskets, rock gardens, or container gardens in the warm areas of zones 9 through 11. For the rest of the country, the Echeveria Blue Atoll is very happy when placed on a sunny windowsill as a houseplant. Succulents look especially great when planted together in a shallow dish. We recommend pairing your Echeveria Rosea with a Silver Peak Plant or an Othonna Ruby Necklace.

How to Care for Echeveria 'Blue Atoll' Succulent
Be sure to read our planting instructions to ensure a healthy and happy plant for years to come!
How often do I water my Echeveria Blue Atoll plant?
Once established, water your succulent plant infrequently. Their thick leaves are meant to carry water to allow for dry spells but they also make them more succeptible to overwatering. When caring for a young of newly potted plant, watering may need to be done more frequently.
What soil is best for my Echeveria Blue Atoll succulent?
While any potting mix will work just fine, we recommend using a rich nutritious mix that contains perlite and peat moss for optimal drainage; an example of this would be Espoma Organic Cactus Mix.
How do I repot my Echeveria Blue Atoll Succulent?
When the time is right to repot your succulent plant, choose a container that is no more than 2 inches wider than the current pot, and make sure it has drainage holes in the bottom. Layer rocks or clay pebbles at the bottom and cover with some cactus-mix potting soil. Carefully remove your succulent from the container and loosen the roots at the bottom. place your succulent in the pot where the top of the root system is level with the top of the pot; add soil if necessary. Backfill with more potting mix and water your plant slowly to encourage the roots to settle in their new home.
When should I fertilize my Succulent Echeveria Blue Atoll Plant?
In order to promote healthy growth in your Echeveria Blue Atoll, fertilize it in the spring, or when repotting. An all-purpose low-balanced fertilizer will work perfectly; it is up to user preference when deciding which type to use.
