× Pachyveria glauca 'Little Jewel'

× Pachyveria glauca 'Little Jewel' succulent plants are hybrids in the nothogenus × Pachyveria (Pachyphytum and Echeveria). This plant has cylindrical tapered leaves, shading from powdery blue with a of purple at the bottom of the plant to a light green at the points of the top leaves. That color slowly darkens down the length of the plant.

This plant propagates itself by dropping leaves, which then sprout new plants.

Pachyveria plants do best in desert and arid climates, and grow well in porous, well-drained soil. They grow well in full sun, though prefer a bit of shade in more sizzling heat of 92 and higher degrees. They are drought and heat wave tolerant, but love lots of summer time water, and hardy to around 30-35 degrees.
