Pachyphytum oviferum

Mexico Pachyphytum family, a close family Echeveria, is a genus of mainly začínajícících collectors and amateur growers of succulents. Their compactness is ideal growing conditions placed on the windowsills and the ease of forming a small succulent bonsai. Attractive representative of this genus is undoubtedly Pachyphytum oviferum. His home in San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Creates a rose to about 15 cm in diameter on mostly decumbent trunk. Highly succulent leaves, with attractive blue-white bloom is only 3 cm long and 2-3 cm thick. At the end of winter produces inflorescences with distinctly red flowers to 6 cm long stem.

Older plants gradually shed their lower leaves and on-site creating new flavors. At that time, upright plants usually begin to form procumbent shrubs. If we want to keep the plant upright stem, cut the peak rose with stem and leave root, the more the mother plant offshoot.
The conditions required for cultivation difficult. The literature does point out that this species is slower growing, but in my experience it depends on the conditions under which the plant will create.

In any case, the draining, rich substrate. Plants dry suits rather than the excess moisture in the soil. If you indulge placement in full sun in a greenhouse or a windowsill with a light shade or morning sun only during free cultivation, the plant will definitely save the new additions, both on leaves and shoots on the side. With regular watering and fertilizing can achieve a beautiful collection of plant during one season.

Wintering is the best in the cold room of about 10 ° C completely dry. Otherwise, in the winter the plants begin to pull the shed leaves and lose their attractive appearance. Even reproduction is not difficult. Neosvědčenější way is the vegetative, removal of offshoots, which very readily take root. Multiplication worksheets is a way to slow for the creation of new seedlings take longer than usual for succulent plants. A third possibility is to sowing seeds of dust, which are well Viable while maintaining high humidity.
All what we need to be careful handling the plant. At the slightest touch is to wipe a white coating on leaves and then created unsightly spots.
