Guide
The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.
Pachyphytum oviferum is a leaf-succulent in the Crassulaceae, storing water in its plump, powdery-coated leaves, which means it drains fast and rots if kept wet. Water deeply but infrequently, only once the mix has dried out completely, and grow it in gritty, sharply draining soil. It wants strong light and dry air; very bright indirect light suits it indoors, and it can take some direct sun if acclimated slowly.
