Pachyphytum Sweet Dumpling

About Pachyphytum Sweet Dumpling

Pachyphytum Sweet Dumpling is a chubby succulent that resembles dumplings with its round and chubby appearance. This unique plant is a Korean hybrid variety, believed to carry the genetic traits of Pachyphytum 'Machucae' Baby finger. While its leaves feature pointed tips, the overall shape is shorter and plumper compared to Pachyphytum 'Machucae' Baby finger. In its normal state, Pachyphytum Sweet Dumpling displays a grey-white hue, transforming into a charming pink color when happy. Although it has a slow growth rate, it readily forms clusters of succulents.

How to care for Pachyphytum Sweet Dumpling

Sunlight: To maintain the distinctive shape of Pachyphytum Sweet Dumpling, provide 6-8 hours of indirect sunlight when caring for it indoors. Ideally, place it by a window for optimal care.

Temperature: Similar to most succulents, Pachyphytum Sweet Dumpling thrives between 60-75℉. Take caution when temperatures exceed 95℉ or drop below 40℉, ensuring protection from extreme heat and frost.

Watering: Pachyphytum Sweet Dumpling does not require frequent watering due to its thick leaves. Only water thoroughly when the leaves start to wrinkle.

Soil and pot: Pachyphytum Sweet Dumpling prefers a succulent mix with larger particles to maintain its well-being. A recommended blend is 30% potted succulent soil and 70% gritty mix rock. Opt for a pot that matches the size of the plant for an ideal growing environment.

We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
