Pachyveria 'Powder Puff' (Exotica)

$7.00

A Delicate Touch to Your Collection

Meet the Pachyveria 'Powder Puff' (also known as Pachyveria 'Exotica' or 'Kobayashi'), a gorgeous and highly sought-after succulent hybrid that brings a soft, ethereal look to any container garden or bright windowsill.

  • Ethereal Foliage: This unique cross between Pachyphytum and Echeveria is beloved for its chunky, ovate leaves that form a dense, jewel-like rosette. The foliage boasts a delicate silvery-blue to pale blue-green color.

  • The 'Powder Puff' Finish: The leaves are coated in a thick, powdery, protective wax called farina, giving the plant its charming "powder puff" appearance. This dusty bloom is key to its health—avoid touching the leaves to keep the coating intact!

  • Color-Changing Tips: When given bright, direct sunlight or exposed to cooler temperatures, the leaf tips and margins blush a beautiful rosy pink or violet, adding striking seasonal color to the rosette.

  • Apricot Blooms: Mature plants produce tall, arching stalks with clusters of small, bell-shaped apricot-orange to pink and yellow flowers, typically blooming in the summer months.

All potted plants are local pickup only. Shipped plants will be bare root (no pot or soil).
