Pachyphytum c.v. 'Rice Ball'

Novel miniature cultivar forming dense clusters of 8 to 10mm balls, very slow growing.

Position -

full sun or shade. Best in pots in protected areas. Indoors only in sunny positions otherwise they will lose their nice shape and colour.

Watering -

regularly over warmer months and less during winter. Indoors allow to dry out between waterings.

Feeding -

25% of recommended dosage monthly in growing period. The less fertiliser, the better the shape of the plant. Fertilisers high in nitrogen can produce larger plants with less colour.

Repotting -

can be left to overgrow their pots or repotted in the warmer months in almost any well drained potting mix.
