How to fertilize Blue Giant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Blue Giant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

*Solved* Can’t Identify The container says this is a “Blue Giant Graptosedum Hybrid” but I can’t find that or anything similar on Greg - when I try to hit “add species” it does nothing 🤔 What do I do? Or what’s closest to this? Also- any tips for an outdoor succulent garden? 😬 #WhatTheSuccWednesday #WhatTheSucc #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove

Graptosedum California Sunshine ☀️🌸 the blooms are opening by the day and they are so pretty! I love the star shaped flowers, & even the stomata’s are cool. they look like little fireworks coming out the flower ✨ the pink tones in the middle really give it some character 😊. So proud of my first self grown blooms ! I even have an Echeveria pulidonis that is forming two bloom stalks, I don’t have a progress pic just yet. I have had both of these plants for almost a year & from my observations the most neglected succulents thrive the most 😂😳 that’s one thing I’ve learned so far when it comes to succs that less is more! #BloomingSuccs #GrowingSuccs #GrowLights #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #Graptosedum #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #PlantAddict

Hey #Greggers it’s been a while since I have posted an update on my #Succulents so here’s what’s new in my oasis 🪴 My graptosedum Cali sunset is soo close to blooming, I can’t wait to see these star like white flowers 🥹 I’m very happy because this is my first bloom that formed with my care, instead of me buying it with the bloom stalk already established. Pachyphytum ‘Aquamarine’- she has grown a lot, even though she drops leaves sometimes she is very healthy and happy, she has gotten so full & tall since I got her last summer. 🌱 Calico hearts- I moved her back under my grow lights, instead of a southern window, because I want her to have those goregous stress colors/speckles. She is a favorite plant/succulent of mine, im so proud that I’ve kept her looking good & over all healthy! She has some new growth as usual 🙌🏻 Echeveria ‘pink diamond’- she has been doing alright, not as good as she could be but we will get there 💕 Anacampseros retusa- violet and her baby are slowly getting bigger they aren’t as fast of growers in comparison to their cousin anacampseros sunrise 🌄 but still just as pretty 😊 #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #NewGrowth #GrowingSuccs #GrowLights #BlooingSuccs #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #Echeveria #Anacampseros #Pachyphytum #Graptosedum #CalicoHearts

Cleo isn’t faring too well I just repotted her. I’m not sure what’s wrong. When I got her she was full and 3 separate stems and doing great. This is my only one struggling. At first I thought it was being overwatered so I backed off. Then I thought it was being underwatered cause there was no change. She just keeps eating all of her leaves. I was able to start a couple leaves in a prop tray just in case I lose her. But I don’t know how to help her.

#WhatTheSuccWednesday 🌱✨🪴 Wanted to show some things I haven’t shared or updated in while.. Graptosedum ‘Darley Sunshine’ she has had some ups and downs but she has put off two new growth areas (picture 1 & 3) are shown. She also tends to drop leaves (in her pot) that have grown into little baby plants (2) 🌱😊 how cute! Picture 4 is Echeveria ‘Aphrodite’ a beautiful fleshy blue green Echeveria, she is a slow grower but patience is key with these beauties! 🤞🏻☀️🌱✨ 5 is my Iceplant that has suffered from somd spider mite damage but is managing to persevere through pests & is still showing new growth! She is 3 times bigger than she was when I got her from Home Depot! It’s been 6+ months with most of my succulents, so it’s crazy to see how much they have grown since then. #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #GrowLights #SucculentLove #SucculentSquad #Succulents #Succulent #SuccerForSucculents #PlantAddict #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantTherapy #Propagation #PropagationStation

Is the concerning? I have been watering succs today and I noticed this sunset has really grown. He’s always had some coloration on the leaves since I got it but I’m unsure about the other marks. They are sort of raised and dry. Almost like a scar. Before and current. @AnthuriumQueen @vvvelo or anyone else who might be knowledgeable on succs. Thanks! #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #PlantAddict

Happy #FreshLeafFriday ! 🌱😊✨ Wanted to share that my other frost recovery project, is one of my Graptosedum ‘Bronze’ “Dax”. This plant is super hardy & resilient. It will pretty much tolerate just about anything, & is super low maintenance & chill. He can go a while without water, they propagate easily, & have bounced back from several unfavorable conditions. 🌿🙌🏻 Dax seems to be mostly recovered, & growing new healthy leaves. After the shock from freezing temps I waited a month to repot/water. I also removed the leaves that were damaged/ruptured, so it wouldn’t continue to spread to the rest of the plant, & eventually kill it completely. When succulents get too cold the cells burst & essentially rot the plant from the inside out. If you can remove the damaged leaves (if it’s not all of them) then you can prevent it from spreading to the rest of plant, which will stop the rot from spreading to the remaining healthy parts of your plant. #HappyPlants #NewGrowth #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #RescuePlants #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #Succulents #Succulent #GrowingSuccs #BeforeAndAfter #Graptosedum

Why did he explode? Looks like I got some kind of rot? Can I save him? What do I do? There are little buds on on one stem. More pics in his gallery
