Highlights
Pachyveria 'Powder Puff' (aka 'Exotica' or 'Kobayashi'): A gorgeous soft, pastel rosette with sizeable leaves. This opalescent cultivar grows chunky foliage of pale blue with a rosy pink tinge. It has a thick covering of powdery wax or "farina", that protects it in full sun. It is a strong grower and produces multiple bloom stalks with prolific pink and yellow flowers. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5".
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 mature leaves.Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
