Origin
The Pachyphytum 'Draco', also known as Pachyphytum Draco, has its origin in Mexico. It belongs to the family of the Crassulaceae, a family of plants that generally occur in dry, rocky areas. They have a strong adaptation to drought, which means they originally come from semi-arid regions.

Characteristics
The Pachyphytum 'Draco' is known for its characteristic thick, succulent leaves. The leaves are oval in shape and have a grey-green colour, often with purple hues. The plant grows slowly and can reach up to 10 cm in height. During blooming, the plant produces small, orange-red flowers.

Care
The Pachyphytum 'Draco' prefers a sunny location, but can also grow in partial shade. The plant requires little water, particularly too much water in the winter can lead to root rot. It is recommended to plant it in well-draining soil to prevent over-watering. Regular fertilisation during the growing season promotes the plant's growth and flowering. The Pachyphytum 'Draco' is not frost hardy; at low temperatures, the plant should be brought indoors.
