Cali's first bloom under my care!

I wanted to share with you guys that Cali my ‘Graptosedum California Sunset’ has grown a bloom on one the branches it grew over the summer. Sadly I didn’t get a picture while I was at my mom’s today, so I’ll make sure I get one tomorrow! I was just too excited I had to share, & maybe even build up the anticipation for tomorrow! 🤭🌼🙈 this plant has been so easy going, & has done well in ALL conditions, full sun, grow lights, & even cool temps. I got this plant from Walmart on clearance for 2$ when I started my succulent journey in the beginning of spring. It has been with me through my move from my apartment back to my moms, and has been a good sport throughout the entire time of having her. She has displayed a range of colors from bright orange in full sun, green in less sun, even orange & green in between. She was suffering from a fungal issue when I bought her, but she managed to push through & is now very healthy. Due to the infection I had to remove leaves, which in turn led too her growing offsets all over! She has been such an awesome plant to have & care for. I didn’t realize she was starting to form a bloom, I noticed that whatever was forming looked very different from leaves, but they were so small, I just assumed maybe she was growing another offset and that’s why it looked funny. But today I realized there are flowers forming! The first picture is the stalk that the flowers are growing from, however this was before she formed a bloom. I will make sure to post tomorrow to show you guys! But I just had to tell the good news. This is the firstt succulent to bloom in my care! Which makes me happy after the struggles in my oasis lately due to knats, and climate change. I assume the bloom has something to do with the fact she was outside up until recently due to freezing temps, & she was able to get a cooler period which can encourage blooming. She is now under my new grow light, & I watered her today. Should I fertilize her ? #SucculentSquad bloomingSuccs">#bloomingSuccs #Graptosedum #Succulents #SucculentLove #NewGrowth #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #GrowLights #OutdoorGrowing
