Pachyphytum Mango Beauty is a rare chubby succulent belonging to the Crassulaceae family. Fatty spoon-shaped leaves dress up with a thin white powder coat.

How to Care for Pachyphytum Mango Beauty
Sunlight: Pachyphytum Mango Beauty requires at least 8 hours of bright sunlight daily, year-round. This variety needs more sunlight than other Pachyphytum to achieve its chubby appearance. Locate it near the south-face window or add a grow light in low-light space. If you're keeping the succulent in an outdoor garden during summer, provide it with shade.
Water: Watering Pachyphytum Mango Beauty is crucial for its growth and survival. Avoid watering it from the top and opt for bottom watering or soak it in water when it's thirsty. Only water the plant when the planter's soil dries out or the bottom leaves feel slightly soft. Deduce water frequency in winter even if no water is provided as it goes dormant.
Soil & Planter: Apply cacti soil with 70%~80% organic material and 20%~30% perlite or gritty rocks to these succulents. Plant it in a planter pot with at least one drainage hole at the bottom.
Temperature: Pachyphytum Mango Beauty enjoys living in a warm and dry environment. Provide a sunshade in summer and move it indoors before the temperature drops to 40℉.
Propagation: It is highly recommended to propagate Pachyphytum Mango Beauty by leaf or by the cluster.
