Pachyveria scheideckeri – Succulent Plant

The Pachyveria plant is a hybrid cross between Pachyphytum and Echeveria. There are many varieties available, but most grow two to six inches tall and wide. The thick, chubby leaves are produced in colorful rosettes. These tough plants just need full sun and well-drained soil that is allowed to dry out completely between watering.

LIGHT

Most varieties of succulents need at least half a day to a full day of sunlight.

PLANTING

Remove plants from their pots and plant making sure the soil level remains the same depth on the plant.

SOIL

Succulents need good draining soil. For container planting, you can purchase cactus soil or incorporate sand, gravel or volcanic rock for better drainage. The container you are planting in should have a drainage hole.

WATERING

After planting, water in well and allow the soil to dry between waterings. Water when soil is dry and the sun is shining. Succulents don’t like to have wet feet.

FERTILIZER
Most succulents need very little fertilizer. Watering with a well-balanced fertilizer once a month will be all they need.
