    Blue-green Echeveria setosa cultivar, I suspect a hybrid of different setosa varieties, with lots of long, coarse hair on the leaves, especially near the tips. Introduced in 2016 by Echeveria Universe. Relatively large for this group (to 8 inches wide) and prone to prolific offsetting with time (clumps to 12 inches or more). This plant benefits from a thin layer of sharp rock between the soil and the lower leaves to avoid rot, and has the best (most tarantula-like) form in strong light.
