Highlights
Pachyphytum 'Buster': A charming pastel succulent with extra chunky leaves. This fat-leaved, loose rosette can vary between blue, pink, and silver tones with a thick, powdery coating of farina. Lots of sunshine brings out its pink pigments and keeps growth dense. It can send up a tall bloom stalk from which dangle numerous bright pink flowers. This variety is a hybrid of P. compactum x P. hookeri.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from leaves and stem cuttings. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
