English

It is a hybrid between two genera: Pachyphytum and Echeveria, which means, that it is not present in nature.

This very elegant succulent grows in the shape of a rosette, usually solitary.

It has long fleshy, lanceolate leaves with a small tip at the apex. The foliage is of a greyish-green color, covered with a whitish pruina, which gives the plant a dusty appearance.

Like all Pachyverias, also P. 'Corvus' with exposure to the sun tends to take on purple shades towards the edges of the leaves.

Care

It is recommended to place the plant in a bright location, possibly under direct sun rays, especially in autumn, making its leaves take on more intense colors.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 7 °C, for this reason it is recommended to place it in sheltered and ventilated locations during the winter period.
Water moderately, only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once a week in spring and summer, once a month in autumn and to suspend watering completely in winter.
The best option is a well-draining and porous soil, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
