Introducing the Dudleya pachyphytum, a vibrant member of the Dudleya genus. Native to Baja California, it is also known as Cedros Island Liveforever.
Dudleya pachyphytum is a slow-growing clumping succulent with a thick basal stem and many branches bearing bluish-grey leaves with a white waxy coating. The leaves are thick and rounded, and arranged in a rosette pattern, giving it a beautiful and symmetrical appearance. It can grow up to 1 foot tall and 2 feet wide.
The flowers of Dudleya pachyphytum bloom in mid-summer, and a long inflorescence appears, slightly pink at the base but covered with a white coating.
It bears tight cymes (in which the central main stem and each side branch end in a flower) of pale green to whitish flowers, barely open but decorated with the same white waxy coating.
Taking care of Dudleya pachyphytum is relatively easy.
It prefers bright, indirect light, so placing it near a sunny window or in a partially shaded area outdoors would be ideal.
Dudleya pachyphytum prefers well-draining soil that mimics its natural habitat. As for fertilizing, a balanced, diluted NPK fertilizer can be applied during the growing season, but it's not necessary for the plant's survival.
Dudleyas, native to dry habitats, require minimal watering during the summer. However, these Dudleya plants grown in sandy soils or containers can tolerate infrequent watering as long as the soil drains well. Fall or winter rains reawaken Dudleyas from their drought-induced dormancy, causing their leaves to plump up and growth to resume.
These plants are resilient and can persist for months if uprooted by animals. They are resistant to salt spray, making them ideal for coastal areas (near the ocean). Dudleya pachyphytum susceptible to disease and pest problems but preventing Argentine ants from introducing mealybugs or aphids can help them be healthier. Mealybugs weaken the plants, so proper care is crucial. When growing indoors, your Dudleya plant prefers 65-70°F. For outdoor cultivation, it is well-suited in USDA zones 9-11.
If you're interested in propagating succulent pachyphytum, you can do so by collecting the offsets that grow at the base of the parent plant. Gently remove the offsets and allow them to callous over for a few days before planting them in well-draining soil.
