Pachyphytum 'Baby Fingers' quick care tips

Watering

Pachyphytum 'Baby Fingers' is a drought-tolerant succulent variety, so watering around once per week in the peak growing season is advised. Ensure the soil dries between waterings following the 3 Ds: drench, drain and dry. It is also advised to completely stop watering when conditions are frosty, keeping the plant dry for several months at a time over winter.

Feeding

Pachyphytum 'Baby Fingers' likes to be fed to bring out its best forms and colours. We recommend feeding with a liquid seaweed feed every 2 weeks in the main growing season from April to September.

Ideal soil

Pachyphytum 'Baby Fingers' needs free draining soil to thrive. We recommend a mixture of 1/3 John Innes no.2, 1/3 perlite and 1/3 coconut coir. The soil mix we offer here is similar in composition to this.

Pachyphytum 'Baby Fingers'

Also known as Pachyphytum ‘Machucae’. A beautiful cultivar that grows into a tight clustering form with multiple tiny purple rosettes.

This plant is perfect for potted displays as it works really well with other succulents. As the plant matures, the older leaves turn from a beautiful purple to an orange, developing an unusual contrast of colours.

During late spring to midsummer, the Pachyphytum ‘Machucae’ produces a stunning display with its highly attractive red and white flowers.

  • Choose a pot with a drainage hole if you can’t limit the watering (outdoors). A pot with no drainage hole can be used as long as you water moderately. A pot with a hole tends to be more forgiving. Also, as it is slightly breathable, a terracotta pot is usually preferred over a plastic pot, but the succulents dont seem to mind too much.
