Moonstone (Pachyphytum oviferum) is a dreamy, chubby succulent with plump, rounded leaves that look like frosted pebbles or candy-coated stones. Its soft pastel tones – from silvery green to pale pink – make it a collector’s favourite and a natural showstopper in any indoor plant collection.
Native to Mexico, Moonstone is loved for its powdery leaf coating (called farina), which gives it a velvety matte look. It stays compact, requires little attention, and thrives in bright light, making it perfect for homes, offices, and gifts. Now available at Jagtap Nursery, Magarpatta City, Pune, with PAN India delivery. Bulk purchase? Visit our Solapur Road branch.

Fertilize once in 6–8 weeks using Biogreen for slow, healthy growth.
Temperature:
Prefers 18°C–30°C. Not frost-tolerant. Protect from heavy rains or humid zones.

Don’t touch leaves often — the powdery coat is delicate and rubs off.

Place in a pastel-coloured ceramic pot (Explore our pots section for a perfect match)
Add white gravel for contrast in dish gardens
Style with miniature toys for a fantasy look
Group with Echeverias and Graptopetalums for a dreamy succulent combo
