Rosettes of long, lance-shaped leaves in pastel tones of blue, purple, and green typify Pachyveria ‘Blue Mist,’ which earns its name from the thick coating of powdery farina that lends the plant a soft, air brushed look. Reaching up to 4 inches in diameter at maturity, this variety will send up summertime stalks of bright, coral-hued blooms, which perfectly contrast the delicate shades of the rosettes.

Ease of care and maintenance is a hallmark of this charming succulent hybrid, which is a cross between a Pachyphytum and an Echeveria. Porous, low organic matter soils are not only no issue for ‘Blue Mist,’ but are actually its preference! As such, be sure to utilize a cactus soil mix high in inorganic matter, such as perlite or pumice, within a well-draining pot to avoid moisture accumulation. A thorough yet infrequent watering routine will further shield against this potential problem, and bright sunlight will provide all the rest that ‘Blue Mist’ needs to grow, bloom, and thrive.
