Pachyphytum compactum is a beautiful and distinctive succulent plant belonging to the Crassulaceae family — the same family as Echeveria and Sedum

Here’s a clear breakdown of its features and care:

🌿 General Description

• Common Name: Little Jewel
• Scientific Name: Pachyphytum compactum
• Origin: Central Mexico (Queretaro region)
• Family: Crassulaceae

🌱 Appearance

• Leaves: Thick, fleshy, and covered with a powdery coating (epicuticular wax) that gives them a silvery-blue or pale green look.
• The leaves have faceted surfaces — almost like cut gemstones — which is why the plant is often called “Little Jewel.”
• Rosette Shape: Compact and rounded, usually around 5–10 cm (2–4 inches) in diameter.
• The rosettes grow on short stems that can elongate slightly with age.

🌸 Flowers

• Blooms in late winter or spring.
• Flower Stalks: Tall, slender stems that rise above the plant.
• Flowers: Small, bell-shaped, and often reddish, orange, or pink with yellow interiors.
• They attract pollinators such as hummingbirds and bees.

☀️ Light Requirements

• Prefers bright light and some direct sun — at least 4–6 hours daily.
• Too little light makes it stretch (etiolate), losing its compact, gem-like shape.
• Indoor placement: a south- or west-facing window is ideal.

💧 Watering

• Use the “soak and dry” method:
• Water thoroughly, then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again.
• Overwatering is the main danger — it can cause root rot and leaf drop.
• Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant is dormant.

🌍 Soil

• Needs well-draining soil, such as:
• Cactus/succulent mix, or
• DIY mix: 2 parts pumice/perlite + 1 part potting soil + 1 part coarse sand.

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Prefers warm, dry conditions.
• Temperature range: 18–26°C (65–80°F) ideal.
• Can tolerate down to 5°C (41°F) briefly, but not frost-hardy.

🌿 Propagation

• Easily propagated by:
• Leaf cuttings
• Stem cuttings
• Offsets (baby rosettes that grow at the base)
• Allow cuttings to callus over for 1–2 days before planting in dry soil.

⚠️ Common Issues

• Shriveled leaves: Needs water.
• Soft, translucent leaves: Overwatering.
• Stretching (leggy growth): Not enough light.
• Leaf spots: Water sitting on leaves or poor airflow.
