What is the succulent Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival'? Pure white all over, like velvet

Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival' is not a common succulent, because its leaves are covered in dense white fuzz, and when it grows up it forms a small cluster, which inevitably reminds people of a little white mouse. But the flowers that Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival' produces are indeed mostly orange-red, and this color combination still has great ornamental value when put together. For such a special succulent, wouldn't you all want a pot? Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival' originates from Brazil, so its habits are relatively robust and it is easy to care for. Spring and autumn are its growing seasons, and with good care it can even bloom, so when we propagate Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival' we don't need to worry that we won't be able to care for it well; confidence is the most important thing. The editor will briefly introduce the key care points for Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival' from the following three aspects.

1. Water

Everyone knows that caring for plants requires watering, but for succulents we need to control the water, and when caring for succulents we must know that less water is definitely better than more water. This saying is to prevent us from watering too much, but when water is needed we must not be vague about it. Spring and autumn are the growing seasons, and we generally water once a week, while also maintaining ventilation and not placing it in a backlit place. In summer and winter, succulents tend to go dormant, so we cannot water too much, especially in winter, when watering once every half a month is enough.

2. Light

Succulents really like sunlight, and in spring and autumn we can place them outside on the balcony all day. Receiving light during the growing season can make the leaves of Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival' more translucent and snowy white, and also give it a chance to produce beautiful flowers. But if summer comes, we cannot leave it outside the window for long periods of light like this, because the temperature is too high; even people cannot stand it at noon, let alone Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival'. Moreover, at noon it should be placed in a shady place to cool down; if the temperature is too high it will go dormant, and then we won't be able to see such beautiful flowers.

3. Fertilizer

Fertilizing really depends on your mood. Many friends hardly fertilize their succulents. First, the pot is small, so it is hard to control the amount; second, it feels too troublesome. You should know that all efforts will be rewarded. If Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival' is to bloom, fertilizing is very necessary. Our fertilizer cannot be too concentrated; it must be diluted first. At the same time, on the second day after fertilizing, we should water once again to help absorb the excess fertilizer.

The special appearance of Pachyphytum 'Moon Festival' gives us a lot of curiosity. The first time I saw it, I was also full of amazement. Why is it like a small animal? Now, with one pot being cared for at home, it is often treated as a little white mouse by my son.
