Graptopetalum group 8.jpg


Long long time ago I brought home a bunch of leaves that fell from the mother plant with no name on. They actually didn't look like the ones on this plant now. They were longer, thinner and more blue. Of course I put them in the cutting tray hoping they will grow some roots and new plants.
Well... they all did :)

I had so many of them that I decided to put most into one group pot so I didn't have to deal with a bunch of separate ones. That was probably more than a year ago.

This is how they look like now (pity I didn't keep a track of their progress from the start).

I suspect it is some type of Graptopetalum. Paraguayense maybe? I do have Graptopetalum Paraguayense which looks very alike, but it has a bit thinner and longer leaves - closer to the ones I brought home.

The slight difference could be due to different conditions and time of shooting (I mean time of the year as succulents can look different in cooler winter months and hotter summer ones). If it's the same it's fine too. It's a cool plant. And looks even better with multiple stems in a pot.

There is that one that either way rotted off or the sun completely burned the growing tip. A new one started to grow on the side. I could just remove the whole old step and plant the young one in the same place.
Just to make it look better.

The leaves do not have any pattern, just a bit of the powder, but look now all the little discolorations from sun and water pop in monochromes.

Now I am waiting for the flowers.
