Buy Pink Moonstone Succulent (Bare Rooted) – A Charming Gem for Your Collection

The Pink Moonstone succulent is scientifically known as Pachyphytum oviferum. Its plump, rounded leaves shimmer in shades of peachy pink to pale lilac. The Mexican native succulent has chubby foliage dusted with a powdery farina coating, which gives it the nickname “Sugar Almond Plant” or simply “Moonstone.” When late winter or early spring arrives, delicate red and white flowers bloom, making it 10X more delightful.
