Species of Pachyphytum
Blue haze
The blue haze is a variety quite similar to the Jewel-leaf plant. Both have round, plump leaves, and sometimes their colors are alike too, making it no surprise that the two are often confused. Usually, its leaves are cyan-green, but when it's kept at the right temperatures and is receiving enough light, its leaves transform into a charming shade of peach.
Moonstone
This succulent grows oval-shaped leaves reminiscent of the satellite for which it is named. Alternate comparisons note the Pachyphytum oviferum's similarity to a clutch of eggs, leading to its specific epithet, "oviferum", meaning, "egg-bearing." It requires very little water or space, and thus is a favorite for indoor gardeners.
Little jewel
The surface of a little jewel leaf has irregular white ribs that feel like a stylish geometric patchwork. When the plant is fully displaying its vibrant colors, its green leaves turn yellowish-orange and its leaf tips turn red, with a jelly-like translucency.
Dr. cornelius
The leaves of the Pachyphytum 'Dr. Cornelius' are oval, like those of the Blue Haze or the Moonstone. Its leaf tips are often Barbie pink, with its leaves being green to dark green. When there is sufficient light, the leaves are tightly arranged and the margins of the leaves glow red. When there is insufficient light, the leaves turn light green, narrow, and long, with a larger leaf spacing.
