Highlights
Sedeveria 'Blue Elf' (O'Connell): A beautiful blue-green rosette with a thick coating of powdery farina. The leaf tips can blush pink to burgundy, with the brightest colors showing during moderate stress from direct sun, water shortage, or cool temperatures around 40F.
'Blue Elf' even got the nickname "Happy Plant" because it can produce bright, yellow flowers multiple times a year. It is a wonderfully low-maintenance grower and will stay under 3.0" wide but throw lots of offsets around its base. The offsets can easily be removed and transplanted onto gritty, well-draining soil.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings and mature leaves. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
