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!
