Pachyphytum Succulent Care Tips

Unfortunately, Pachyphytums are extremely sensitive to being handled as our skin oils can damage the leaves, so take care when replanting them! Pachyphytums also do not do well with the cold, so don't keep them in areas with temperatures below 45F as they might kill the plant. If you live in an area with a similar temperature as listed above, take them indoors with a growlight.  On the flipside, Pachyphytums can tolerate high heat and intense sunlight.  As always, make sure not to overwater the succulent, watching for when the soil is dry before watering.
