🔧 Survival Guide for Your Pachyphytum Oviferum

☀️ Light

The Moonstones love bright, indirect sunlight. Place them near a sunny window, but avoid intense, direct sun which may cause leaf scorching.

💧 Water

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings—usually every 2–3 weeks. During winter, reduce watering to once a month.

🪼 Soil

Opt for a well-draining succulent or cactus mix to ensure healthy roots. A pot with drainage holes is essential to prevent overwatering.

🌞 Temperature & Humidity

This succulent thrives in temperatures between 18–25°C. Keep it in a warm, dry spot, away from cold drafts or frost.

🌿 Fertilizer

Feed lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted succulent fertilizer every 4–6 weeks. Skip fertilizing in fall and winter.

🎨 Pot Styling Tip

Show off the Moonstones’ soft pastel colors in a minimalist white or textured gray pot to create a soothing aesthetic.

🐈‍⬛ Moonstones and Pets

Good news—the Pachyphytum Oviferum is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe and beautiful choice for households with furry friends.

✨ Fun Fact!

The powdery coating on the Moonstones’ leaves is called a “farina.” It helps protect the plant from intense sunlight and water loss!
