Description and Ethnobotany
| Growth Form | Succulent forming low rosettes up to 15 cm wide. |
|---|---|
| Foliage | Fleshy, lanceolate leaves are silvery blue-green with reddish pink tips. The tips have a spine-like shape, but are soft. |

| Cultivation | Echeveria 'Tippy' grows best in very well-drained soil under bright light. Water plants thoroughly but allow the soil to dry before re-watering. Over-fertilizing and dim light promotes fast, but weak growth. Apply a thin layer of fine gravel to the soil surface to help keeps the leaves dry and prevent rot. |
