How to fertilize Graptoveria 'Opalina'
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 Graptoveria 'Opalina' after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Opalina keeps dropping leaves I got this graptoveria Opalina ~2 weeks ago and it’s been dropping a leaf about every week. The leaf will turn orangey/red/yellow and becomes very thin (unlike all the other fat leaves). You can see it happening again to the yellow colored leaf shown in the picture (left side). I did water it ~1 week ago. Any ideas what’s going on or how to stop it?

Graptoveria Opalina still dropping leaves My opalina has been dropping about 1 leaf per week since I got it in March. The leaf will get a divit/indent and then slowly turn orange/red, thin out and drop off. You can see from the picture the leaf on the left is likely to drop soon. It seems like a lot of the leaves that are dropping have scabs/trauma but I’ve found no bugs? I recently treated with neem oil and nothing seems to have gotten better/worse. Any idea what’s up with this? 😔 She’s been under a grow light (you can see how much the color has changed) and has been watered ~2x since March.

Is this propagation? My Succulent, Click-- an Opalina, had a leave break off when my sibling grabbed them of the window (she was giving kisses ;) ) and instead of throwing the leave out I wanted to try and propagate it. This is my first succulent and my first propagation. Could you help me out? 🙏

Does anyone know what kind of plant this? Greg couldn’t ID #Echeveria

Why are the leaves falling off? :( This guy keeps getting yellow translucent bottom leaves that fall off. Whats wrong?? This happened with the last opalina I had and I never figured it out. He has warmth, light, well draining soil, and no bugs…

Happy Monday y’all! 🪴🌿✨🧚🏻♀️ After a long weekend (& busy) weekend of being away from my plants, I came home this morning & was able to spend some quality time with my plant friends 🌱☺️ (& check each one for growth & REPOT AND DOUSE WITH CINNAMON CAUSE IM HAVING SOME FUNGAL ISSUES RN AND ITS TEARING MY NERVES UP) …. Okay now that I got that out the way, there is some good news 🗞️ •Kyoto my pagoda is still blooming, and still has more unopened buds, I love how they really look like this emoji >🌸< lol. •Toby the baby toes was one of the plants that I saw some (beginning) rotting issues, which was crushing considering it was putting off all this new growth & It’s been doing so good. I think I took care of it, but I’m keeping my eye out 👁️ . •Plato -(Graptoveria opalina) is doing good as far as I can tell, she’s gotten a lot bigger since I’ve gotten her, I’ll have to post a then & now update soon. •My favorite prop tray rn, it’s been doing so well and I have so many ghost plant babies, and graptoveria opalina.. but what I’m most excited about is my ‘black licorice’ Echeveria Prop. I only had one leaf to try to prop (proud #proplifter of Home Depot) & it has put off roots & a baby ☺️🌱 Yay! •Last is my senecio barbertonicus, it was dying so I stuck it in my greenhouse & forgot about it, today while cleaning I found it, and it had regrown and Is doing a lot better! #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #BloomingSuccs #PropagationStation #HappyPlants #NewGrowth

Still learning about succulents—is my opalina producing offsets? If so, how can I separate them/when should I? They are in the middle of each side of the plant, so would I have to sacrifice the leaves underneath them? Any advice is appreciated, I’m still such a novice with these! PS: don’t mind the cinnamon on the plant, there was an accidental puncture of a leaf the other day so I sprinkled some to keep any baddie infections away. #SucculentSquad #SucculentLove #PropagationStation

Mystery Plant ID I have some mystery succulents that I've been trying to ID for months. Now that they've grown out some, I figured I would probe the minds of my fellow Greggers and ask what everyone thinks. There are 3 plants up for debate: 1) Echeveria Purple Pearl or a PVN 2) Echeveria Moonglow or Graptoveria A Grimm One 3) ??? Mystery Lidl Succulent, pretty sure it's an Echeveria I'll post pictures of each plant in the comments. And before anyone says it, yes I know Google Lens exists, but the AI is only as good as the people who coded it. The first one is either a Purple Pearl or a PVN. The pictures with an "e" indicate early, or when I first got it. A "c" indicates a current picture. #succulentsquad #succulentlove #succulents #echeveria #graptoveria #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantaddict #plantmafia #planttherapy #mysteryplant #plantid

Is my succulent ready to be repotted into soil? Last month, due their withering/beginning to die, I cut my some of my succulents at the stems (removing all of their roots in the process) as I felt they needed a complete restart. Per some advice I recieved here, I placed the freshly cut succulents over water, with only the very ends of the stems submerged, so they would grow roots faster. This worked magic - in just a few days, the stems in the water had grown baby roots. I left them in for a little over a week, replacing the water regularly, so they’d grow enough to be ready to be replaced into soil. I believe the succulent picture below is ready for this move, but I am questioning a) whether you all agree, and b) whether the roots look healthy, in general. The end does seem a little water logged (as expected) - is that okay, or might it be beginning to rot (or at risk of doing so)? Also, if I do place it back into soil, how long should I wait to water? To preface, I moved some other succulents that had undergone the same process back into their pots after what I thought to be sufficient root growth, and they ended up declining pretty quickly (one stem rotted, so I had to cut it again and restart; the other dried out and lost a bunch of leaves). If you’re familiar with this process, any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated 🙏🏽

We had a rough start, but once I figured out how to take care of her she started sprouting new leaves! She’s a survivor for sure!
