Look at this beauty! I got Monica about a week ago and I heard that she likes direct sun so I put her outside and took her inside at night. (Because my back porch gets crazy sun) And I noticed this little bloom on her and that tells me sheās happy! I think sheās liking her new home! ā¤ļø #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #SucculentLove #NewPlantMom #ADHDPLANTLOVERS #GregGang

How do I take care of this? I just got this plant but I can tell it needs some love! It is loose in its pot and seems to have some discoloration at the tips. I was told it was nibbled on a bit so thatās what those marks are on a couple of them. I watered it but how should I take care of it? Does it need direct sunlight? How often do I water? Did the app identify its plant type correctly?

These are more recent pictures of my props, (so Iām gonna repost these and delete my earlier post if you already saw it. š ) They are doing good so far, Iām keeping them under my grow lights, & watering them *LIGHTLY* every two or so days when the tray looks dry. For me itās easy to prop them & get them started, the hard part is remembering to water them once they can no longer rely on the mother leaf for nutrients/water. They dry out much quicker than a mature succulent so you have to be sure to keep them moist while they are in that stage. I have a lot of time invested in these guys, so I really want them to grow into their own plant. Like I said I have success in getting them started, itās the keeping them alive once they are on their own thing that I struggle with š©. ā¢ 1&4. Varigated Graptopetalum āTitubansā 2-3.

One More Late Night Succulent Post šššæ 1. Echeveria āPerle Von Nurnbergā - she recently got a repot & is doing well! I just love how her colors are constantly changing based on temp & lighting. 2-3. Graptoveria āMoonglowā - Iām loving the lower orange/yellow/red tips, & the powdery mint blue on the newer leavesā¦ it has lots of babies too! š„ŗ 4. Sedeveria āLilac Mistā - I have 3 heads of this cultivar & after loosing my last 3, Iāve been able to care for these guys a bit better. By giving them less water & watering less frequently, with lots of sun. All 3 stalks have recently started putting off babies, (will post babies in comments). Right now this one is showing a muted lavender with the newest leaves at the top & a lime green on the older lowest leaves. šæ 5. Pachyphytum Oviferum also known as āMoonstoneā, this one clearly needs a larger pot.. but like I said in my previous post Iām lacking in the large pot department right now šš itās doing a mean lean, because itās gotten so top heavy. However itās still looking pretty good & is healthy, despite of its tilt.š #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #Sedeveria #Echeveria #Moonstone #Graptoveria #Pachyphytum #OutdoorGrowing #OutsidePlants #perlevonnurnberg #Moonglow #LilacMist
