Pachyveria 'Orpet' [large]

Highlights

Pachyveria 'Orpet' (aka 'Nausikaa'): A gorgeous, powder blue rosette with chunky, cupped leaves. The leaves have lightly purple leaf margins that deepen in full sun. The pastel finish comes from a generous layer of farina, a natural, powdery wax. Look for red and yellow striped flowers in the spring and summer months. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

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 ample 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 stem cuttings and leaves. Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
