Pachyphytum fittkaui is a shrubby succulent with fleshy, finger-like leaves that grow in rosettes at the end of the stems. It is one of the largest species in the genus, with stems growing up to 3.3 feet (1 m) long and 1.4 inches (3.5 cm) in diameter, mostly branched from the base. Initially erect, the stems become decumbent or pendent with age. The rosettes can reach up to 8 inches (20 cm) in diameter. The leaves are deep green to bluish-green, with a somewhat violet-red blush when exposed to direct sunlight, and measure up to 3.8 inches (9.5 cm) long and 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) thick.

The plant blooms in late winter, producing bell-shaped flowers with large, unequal sepals, the same color as the leaves, that clasp the deep rose-colored petals. The flowers are up to 0.9 inches (2.3 cm) long and 0.6 inches (1.5 cm) in diameter and appear on arching, violet-red stalks that can reach 22 inches (55 cm) in length and have leaf-like bracts.
