Echeveria 'Reia Tanaka' is a sea green succulent from the Echeveria genus, native to the mountainous regions of Mexico where it grows naturally among rocky outcrops and well-draining slopes. It is drought tolerant and grows well in conditions that mimic its native rocky habitat.
The rosette consists of thick, fleshy spoon-shaped leaves arranged in tight spirals that form compact clusters 4-6 inches across. Its leaves are sea green with blue undertones, and the leaf tips often blush pink when exposed to bright light. Each leaf has smooth edges and a waxy surface that gives the whole plant a sculptural appearance.
'Reia Tanaka' produces tall flower spikes topped with bell-shaped blooms, though flowering frequency depends on adequate light and proper growing conditions. It is completely pet safe and non-toxic to cats and dogs if accidentally nibbled.
Move it outside for summer months but keep it protected from rain to prevent root rot. You can leave it up to ten days without water. It grows well both indoors and outdoors.
