Pachyveria 'Scheideckeri', also known as the Jeweled Crown, is a distinctive hybrid succulent that forms compact rosettes. Originating from the Crassulaceae family and Sempervivoideae subfamily, this plant's rosettes are composed of fleshy, grey to blue-green leaves tinged with an enticing hint of red. The diverse nature of this hybrid means that the rosettes can display a variety of forms, some growing larger, while others maintain a petite stature. Occasionally, some rosettes even boast variegated and slightly distorted leaves, creating a fascinating visual spectacle.
One of the unique aspects of Pachyveria 'Scheideckeri' is its highly structural form. The leaves are cupped and gently pointed, layering to create the compact rosettes. These rosettes showcase a stunning range of colours from soft pink, hazy blue to an orangey coral. The sheer beauty of its colours can make any corner of your home brighter or bring a pop of colour to a rock garden.
Reaching heights of approximately 10cm and spreading to around 15cm, Pachyveria 'Scheideckeri' is relatively hardy. It favours bright light, specifically in western or southern exposures. It is important, though, to exercise caution against overwatering, as it poses a significant threat to the plant's health. A well-draining soil mixture and adequate airflow around the leaves and soil surface can safeguard against excess dampness.
While robust, it is essential to note that Pachyveria 'Scheideckeri' is susceptible to frost. A temperate climate suits it best, comparable to what one might find in certain parts of Australia. During the warmer months of spring, expect the added delight of dainty yellow to orange-red flowers that blossom above the rosettes.
In sum, the Pachyveria 'Scheideckeri' presents a compelling blend of form and colour, an adaptable plant that promises to be a remarkable addition to your home or garden.
