This succulent grows oval-shaped leaves reminiscent in shape and color of the satellite for which it is named. Alternate comparisons note the moonstone'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.

Moonstone, Sugaralmond plant

Pachyphytum is latin for "thick-leaved" and moonstone, also known as sugaralmond plant really lives up to its name. Its succulent, almond-shaped leaves ranging from peachy pink to bluish lavender are coated in a pruinose layer of farina for sun protection.

Moonstone or Pachyphytum oviferum is an easy to care for succulent with cute, plump leaves. This plant will tell you when it needs watered. If the leaves are firm and plump, your plant does not need to be watered. But if the leaves feel soft and look wrinkly, its ready for a drink. Changing the intensity of the light it receives will change the color of its leaves.
