About x Pachyveria’ Angel’s Finger’
As a hybrid cross of Pachyphytum and Echeveria, x Pachyveria’ Angel’s Finger’ features the characteristics of both genus. With the plump oval shape of its foliage similar to Pachyphytum succulents and its pointed tip alike to Echeveria succulents, we can figure out their likeness by observing their appearance. Meanwhile, the similarity of x Pachyveria’ Angel’s Finger’ and pachyphytum red dragonfly confuses many succulent amateurs. But compared to the latter plant, Angel’s Finger is characterized by chubbier foliage, thicker frosty surface, and lighter color.
How to care for x Pachyveria’ Angel’s Finger’
Sun/Temperature: Full sun and part shade is the recommended light conditions of x Pachyveria’ Angel’s Finger’. Spring and autumn are when the succulent grows. Providing adequate sunshine or placing it in your open-air garden during these two seasons makes Pachyveria thrive with compact rosette and vibrant pink and red. And it would help if you created proper shade and drafty conditions for your plant in summer in case of sunburn. Some warmth-keeping measures should be taken in winter for its weakness in frost resistance.
Soil/Pot: x Pachyveria’ Angel’s Finger’ favors good drainage condition. Thus a more significant percentage of granular soil is needed. And mix other organic soil with your gardening tools before potting. Frequent repotting is not recommended. So do regular fertilizers.
Watering: When the soil dries out, providing a succulent bath rather than gradual sips is better. That means you can follow the “dry and soak” method in spring and fall when they are in growing seasons. It would be best if you cut your watering frequency during winter to prevent your succulent from rotting or freezing hurt.
