Description
Echeveria Atlantis is an attractive succulent with round big rosettes. In the summer expect the rosettes to take on a powdery blue skin, but in colder temperatures this plant reaches her full potential with rich, red tips that are in striking contrast to the blueish-green bodies of the rosettes. The tall stem produces a pink-orange flower.

Watering needs to be done when the soil becomes dry to touch in summer season and should not be watered during the winters. It requires a porous soil with good drainage for a healthy growth.
These decorative little plants can be grown in interesting containers such as tea cups and even miniature baby shoes. Make sure the container had adequate drainage. If it doesn't, it might be a good idea to pop the plant out of its container and add a layer of gravel to the bottom to reduce the wicking action of the soil above.
