About Pachyphytum Compactum Rose (Rare)
Pachyphytum Compactum Rose is native to Mexico, and its name derives from the compact arrangement of its leaves. It is a short-stemmed, densely branched succulent plant. Its leaves are very thick, cylindrical, and tapering at the ends. The leaf color is grayish-green with purple markings, and there is a layer of farina on the upper surface of the leaves. Its sharp, erect leaves and cool colors give it a sense of detachment.
How to care for Pachyphytum Compactum Rose
Sun/Temperature: Pachyphytum Compactum Rose prefers warm climates, with optimal growth temperatures ranging from 60°F to 80°F. It should be protected from exposure to low temperatures, especially during the winter. It enjoys ample sunlight and can tolerate partial shade, making it suitable for indoor and outdoor cultivation. Some shading should be provided in the summer to prevent leaf scorching.
Soil/Watering: Choose well-draining sandy or gravelly soil or a specialized succulent soil mix for optimal growth. During the growing season (spring to fall), keep the soil moist, but avoid water accumulation at the bottom of the pot. Reduce watering frequency in winter to prevent root rot from over-moistening. The soak and dry watering method can be employed.
Propagation: Propagation of Pachyphytum Compactum Rose can be done through leaf cuttings or offsets. To propagate via leaf cuttings, remove a complete leaf and allow the wound to dry before gently placing it on moist soil and keeping it moist.
