• Echeveria ‘Cielo’ is a gibbiflora-type hybrid. It forms a prominent, solitary rosette of fleshy, wide leaves. The name "Cielo" (Spanish for "Sky") likely refers to its celestial blue and icy-white coloration. The leaves are often deeply spoon-shaped with noticeably wavy or ruffled margins, giving it the appearance of a sea creature or a blooming rose.
  
  Like most Echeverias, its ancestral roots are in the semi-arid, high-elevation regions of Mexico and Central America. However, 'Cielo' itself is a cultivated hybrid (cultivar) bred specifically for its dramatic size and ruffled texture.
  
  It produces bell-shaped flowers, typically in shades of coral, pink, or orange with yellow interiors.
  
  
• 
  Full sun to bright indirect light.
  
  Well-draining cactus or succulent mix. A blend of 50% potting soil and 50% grit (perlite, pumice, or coarse sand) is ideal.
  
  "Soak and Dry" method. Water deeply only when the soil is 100% dry. Avoid getting water in the center of the rosette to prevent rot.
  
  Feed lightly once or twice during the growing season with a diluted, low-nitrogen fertilizer. Overfeeding can cause leggy growth and weaken the plant.
  
  Non-toxic to cats, dogs, and humans.
