Pachyveria 'paradox' AKA Chanel

Also known as 'Chanel'

Pachyveria 'Paradox' has chunky, spoon-shaped leaves which form tight rosettes in shades of dusty mauve, slate blue, and smoky lavender. Under stress or cooler temperatures, the foliage deepens to rich purples and charcoal tones. The surface is coated in a soft layer of farina, giving it a matte, powdery finish. A favorite among collectors.

Plants for sale are shown in a 7cm pot. The images will show the same or similar plant to the one sent to you.

Succulent colours can change due to the time of year, environment, or growing conditions.

Please Note:

Plants are sent bare rooted. A snazzy way of saying it will arrive with minimal or no soil or pot.

Succulents need to travel with the least moisture as possible due to potential problems, such as rotting. This means they are taken out of their pots and their roots are allowed to dry out before sending. As a result, plants may arrive looking slightly different to photos. Some maybe a little dry looking or slightly wrinkled leaves for example, remember succulents are hardy and will bounce back with a little TLC. TLC instructions will be within your order.
