Little Jewel (Pachyphytum compactum) (Rose): Resembles a cut gemstone with angular facets left by the pressure of neighboring leaves. This species is native to the rocky slopes of Hidalgo, Mexico. It is a matte blue-green but can show tinges of violet when gently stressed by full sun, drought, or cool 50F temperatures. It grows tall stems that eventually bend to the ground and lose their lower leaves. Fortunately, members of the Pachyphytum (meaning "fat plant") genus have a high success rate of propagation from stem cuttings to keep rosettes from looking overgrown.
Watering: pachyphytum plants support aridity very well so, they do not demand a lot of water. You should water them only if a soil is dry or a leaves at a bottom are a little down.
They can be quite sensitive to too much direct sun, particularly in the afternoon, and will need shade during the hottest parts of the day.
Universal fertilizer is a granular and mineral product intended for the fertilization of all types of garden cultivations. Its balanced content is suitable both for fruit trees, fruit bushes, vegetables, and ornamental plants. The even composition of individual elements makes the fertilizer universal.
Trim out dead and damaged leaves any time, pinching off or cutting off each of those leaves at its base. Avoid cutting into a plant's main stems or its crown, which is where its leaves and roots meet.
Pachyphytum plants enjoy daytime temperatures of 68° – 80° degrees Fahrenheit and nights of 50° – 70° degrees Fahrenheit.
