Pachyphytum 'Compactum'

Also sold as 'Little Jewel'

Pachyphytum 'Compactum', often known as 'Little Jewel, 'has stout, fleshy leaves. These leaves exhibit a unique silvery-blue or lavender hue and are often dusted with a fine, powdery coating that helps the plant retain moisture. Arranged tightly around the stem, they form a dense rosette that gives the plant a robust, compact appearance.

Hailing from Mexico, Pachyphytum 'Compactum' naturally thrives in rocky terrain and cliff sides. It grows to about 15 cm in height and can spread out to roughly 20 cm in diameter as it matures and produces offsets. During late winter to early spring, the plant showcases small, bell-shaped flowers that are typically dark red with greenish tips, perched on short, slender stalks.

This perennial succulent is highly drought-tolerant once established, preferring well-draining soil and full to partial sunlight. However, it is not frost-hardy and should be protected from freezing temperatures. 

Plants for sale are shown in a 9 cm 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.
