Pachyphytum Glutinicaule

Pachyphytum Glutinicaule is a charming succulent known for its attractive, fleshy leaves that range in color from pale green to bluish-grey. The plant grows in rosettes and features a compact, trailing habit, making it a popular choice for container gardening and rock gardens. This species thrives in bright, indirect light and requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot.

NOTE | The stem of Pachyphytum Glutinicaule is sticky due to the presence of a natural resin or mucilage. This sticky substance helps the plant retain moisture, protect against herbivores, and possibly aid in rooting when parts of the plant come into contact with the soil. This adaptation is particularly useful in the plant's native arid environments, where water conservation is crucial for survival.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ROOTING CUTTINGS
Insert the cutting into the soil, ensuring .05 to 1 inches are buried. Water the plant sparingly when the soil is dry. Roots should form within the next two weeks. Keep the plant in bright shade during the rooting period. To avoid leaf burn, acclimatize the plant gradually to outdoor conditions or full sun.
