Echeveria pulidonis ‘Sky Pearl’

Sky Pearl — refined, elegant, collectible 💎

Family: Crassulaceae · Pot diameter: 12cm · Height: 15cm

Crassulaceae
Protected cultivar
Pearly glaucous colour
Purple-red margins
Compact rosette

Echeveria pulidonis ‘Sky Pearl’ forms an exceptionally clean rosette in cool pearlescent tones. Fleshy leaves carry a heavy glaucous bloom, deep grey-green undertones and a fine purple-red margin that defines every curve.

The balance between a soft powdery surface and linear red detail gives it a refined contemporary presence. As a protected, clearly documented cultivar, it is a distinctive collector choice for anyone seeking not merely a blue Echeveria but a specific genetic identity with consistent character.

What makes it special

Heavy glaucous bloom acts like a pearl filter, while a fine purple edge draws the rosette with precision.

A pearlescent coating

Dense natural wax scatters light and creates the cool grey-blue sheen that defines the cultivar.

A precise purple line

Every leaf is outlined by a narrow red-to-purple margin, stronger under appropriate light.

A documented mutation

The cultivar has the official code ‘OVPEARLS05’ and a protected identity, rather than simply a descriptive colour name.

Why you will love it: it offers the elegance of a glaucous rosette together with documented cultivar identity and fine colour detail.

In your spacePlacement & plant pairingsWhere it looks its best and which plants complement it

In your space

Where it looks its best

Place it on a bright sill or sheltered terrace with enough open space for the entire rosette to read clearly. Matte white, pale pink and charcoal strengthen the pearl tones.

Plant pairings

Plants that complement it

Combine it with compact rosettes that enjoy strong light and complete drying, in separate pots so every form remains precise.

Echeveria agavoides — a glossy green surface and red tips create a clean textural contrast.
Graptopetalum paraguayense — a looser grey-lilac rosette continues the cool palette in another rhythm.
Pachyphytum oviferum — rounded powdery leaves add volume beside its exact geometry.

Care at a glance

Light

Abundant bright light and gentle direct sun for compact form and stronger margins.

Water

Water at the base only after the mix dries completely, never into the centre of the rosette.

Climate

Good airflow and protection from prolonged damp, glass-amplified heat and frost.

Pets

No established indication of serious toxicity, but ingestion by pets and children should be prevented.

Detailed careComplete care guideLight, drying cycle, climate, substrate and nutrition in detail

Light and position

A very bright position keeps the rosette low and margins vivid. Add morning or late-afternoon sun progressively and shelter from sudden harsh midday exposure.

Watering correctly

Water deeply at the base and repeat only once the pot feels light and the mix is dry throughout. Do not leave water between leaves.

Air and humidity

A dense rosette and powdery surface need dry foliage and moving air. Avoid misting and carefully remove dry lower leaves that can trap moisture.

Temperature and seasonal rhythm

It performs best at mild temperatures. During extreme summer heat it may slow and use less water, while frost should be avoided.

Substrate

Use an airy succulent mix rich in pumice, lava or another porous mineral component. Keep the neck above the surface.

Feeding and repotting

During new growth, a dilute balanced low-nitrogen fertiliser every four to six weeks is enough. Repot once roots fill the pot without touching the bloom.

Botanical identityIdentity & natural originAccepted name, origin of the form and natural distribution

Official cultivar identity

Commercial ‘Sky Pearl’ corresponds to protected Echeveria pulidonis ‘OVPEARLS05’. Registration preserves a clear link between the trade name and this particular clone.

Discovered in the Netherlands

Johannes H. A. Ammerlaan discovered it in March 2009 in cultivation at Ovata B.V., Bleiswijk, the Netherlands, as a naturally occurring whole-plant mutation within an unnamed line of Echeveria pulidonis.

Clonally stabilised

The new form was propagated asexually by leaf cuttings and proved stable. Its official description distinguishes dark grey-green, heavily glaucous leaves and purple-red margins.

From natural habitat to home care: the fleshy rosette stores water, thick surface wax limits loss and compact arrangement protects the growth centre. In a pot that calls for dry bloom, strong light, watering at the base and rapid drainage.

Greenleaf for Plant NerdsScientific details nobody asked forBotanical details for anyone who wants to know what lies behind the plant’s appearance

The powder is called farina

It is epicuticular wax produced by the leaf. Once removed by touch, it is not fully restored on that same area.

The cultivar is a whole-plant mutation

The official patent describes a mutation affecting the whole plant rather than a colour sector on one leaf, which matters for clonal stability.

Red edges contain anthocyanins

Pigment concentration often increases under strong appropriate light and cooler nights without requiring drought stress.

The code distinguishes the clone

‘OVPEARLS05’ is the official cultivar denomination under plant protection, while Sky Pearl functions as the commercial name.

Frequently asked questions

Useful answers about placement, watering, seasonal behaviour and the plant’s distinctive traits.

01Is Sky Pearl a specific cultivar?

Yes. It is linked to protected clone ‘OVPEARLS05’, a mutation of Echeveria pulidonis discovered and stabilised in the Netherlands.

02Why do marks remain on the leaves?

Touch removes farina and it does not fully reform in the same place. Handle the pot rather than the rosette.

03How much light does it need?

A very bright position with gentle direct sun. Appropriate exposure keeps the rosette compact and strengthens the purple margin.

04When should it be watered?

Once the mix is dry to the bottom. Water at the base and let all surplus drain away.

05Why is the rosette opening?

Loose flat growth usually points to insufficient light or excessive feeding. New growth improves in a more suitable position.

06What fertiliser does it need?

A dilute balanced low-nitrogen fertiliser only while new leaves are forming. Excess creates a soft open rosette.
