Excited for new 'Moonglow' and tips!

Got my plants from planet desert today, thank you to the #GregGang #gregteam for making this possible, I love that I was able to help so many people with their plants & have learned so much about mine as well. Gardening is a big part of my life & I never thought I would a part of a community that’s so awesome and knowledgeable! I look forward to seeing everyone’s posts, everyday & seeing what the Greg app will do next! I was able to get two of my wishlist plants & one other as thank you, for placing second this past month in top answers. πŸ€“πŸŒ± I got a calico hearts, crassula β€˜moonglow’ & a cotyledon β€˜white sprite’ 🀍 I’m hoping they will do well, and acclimate to their pots well!

@TidyTigerpear Congratulations! That 'moonglow' is pretty cool. Like a stack of fluffy pillows 😊 it is TIGHT (zero etoliating....it must have been in some pretty awesome light conditions).

I also love Calico Hearts (as we've already talked about)....they are just so different! Your new one has some great color on those newer leaves!
@UltraKoreanfir right ! I’m really hoping I will be able to keep the growth compact! It must have been outside I’m thinking about keeping in front of a window, under grow lights also. And I knocked two leaves of my calico hearts when I unwrapped it 😭 I was so upset. But atleast it does have a decent amount of new growth ! What kind of lighting have you kept yours under. I heard they can get sunburned but Greg says direct sun. So I’m thinking partial sun, and taking it inside when it starts getting more cold. I just hope the lighting changes won’t be too much, for them.
Wow!
I've kept it in full sun without it burning, but not the harshest mid-day rays. As for knocking a couple of leaves off, I think these really are sort of fragile. Remember I had one that just suddenly fell completely apart, so I'm still learning about it. And the remaining one hasn't just taken off...you have more leaves than I do, so I'm not sure mine is going to flourish. Probably in a month or two, I'll be asking you for advice on it! πŸ€”
My house does not have very good lighting, and I haven't really figured out how close to keep grow lights.
Here is mine, and it does have a couple of new leaves started. But it sure is slow growing, so I doubt I have it in ideal conditions.
These are beautiful! 😻
@UltraKoreanfir I’m gonna be keeping it under grow lights for now, I keep my lights basically right above them, and so far they have done good. I prob won’t be able to keep my calico outside since it’s getting colder, but on sunny morning I will stick her outside for now, and keep under grow lights on between. I would try putting it in a bright window sill, or under a grow light
@AwesomeLilliput thank you (:
I have NEVER been able to get my Moonglow that tall!! Amazing!!
@sarahsalith I got it this way from planet desert! 🏜️ hopefully I can keep it healthy and compact with my lights this winter !
Congrats they are beautiful 🀩
I don't know much about succulents, yours are beautiful.
