Pachyphytum bracteosum

Mexico is home to a large assortment of wonderful succulents belonging to the Crassulaceae, or Stonecrop Family. Among these, the species in the genus Pachyphytum are notable for their cartoonishly balloon-like leaves, often with pallid pastel colors. They usually grow on rocks (often on sheer cliffs), and they have inflorescences that nod at the tips, like a scorpion's tail. This one is Pachyphytum bracteosum, and although it has red flowers, these are almost hidden by the fleshy pale-green sepals that clasp them. From the state of Hidalgo.

Some comparison pics incoming!

Pachyphytum compactum. First two photos from today. Trimmed them and put in into fresh mix. I think I prefer the darker lava stone on top..

The third picture is how they looked in 2019 before I got my LED lamp blasting them 13 hours a day. What a difference!

For even more comparison last pic is with one pot still untrimmed, you can see the section where the leaves are shorter and spaced apart!

Next we have Tulista pumila, formerly classified as Haworthia. Three years apart

It's so cool watching them grow

×Pachyveria cultivar

We received this cultivar without a name, but a ×Pachyveria is a hybrid between a Pachyphytum and an Echeveria (the × indicates its hybrid origin). It looks very much like an Echeveria, but its extra-thick leaves, and the large sepals enveloping the flowers, are traits inherited from its Pachyphytum parent. Pachyphytums are all native to Mexico, as are most species of Echeveria.

New succulent babies arrived last night!

From top to bottom in the first photo: Graptosedum Miul, Graptopetalum Ellen, and Pachyphytum Cuicatecanum.

I need to find some 4 inch terracotta pots to put them in. I might just order some off of Amazon. I might also have to chop the head off the Ellen and put it in its own pot since it’s hanging and I’m afraid it’s going to tip with the weight. I like when they grow long and vine like but I’m scared LOL!

And as always, if curious, I ordered these ones from RareSucculents on Etsy!
