Found this white area on my baby sun rose so I shipped it...

4” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 year ago
You never know but yeah plants need chlorophyll as one part of making energy for growth but it may still grow. Worth the experiment. This is the downside to οΏΌ variegation on plants when the go all white.
Thanks Gordan, we will see what she does . It will be interesting to watch. I wonder if I put liquid chlorophyll highly diluted in her water. Like a homeopathy remedyπŸ€” I’ll have to do some reading
That is what happened to a few branches of my Mezoo Trailing Red succulents. It’s from too much sun on that particular branch. These plants love full direct sun (6-8 hours per day), however don’t forget to turn your plant occasionally so it can get equal amounts of sun.
Two other important tips for Mezoo Trailing Red (Baby Sun Rose).
Make sure you are using well-draining succulent soil, I recommend β€œMiracle-Gro Cactus, Palm, and Citrus Potting Mix”. Also make sure your pot has good drainage with holes at the bottom. Make sure you don’t overwater your plant. Since it is a succulent, they do not need a lot of water. They hold water in their stems, leaves, and roots. I would let the soil completely dry out before watering it again. If the leaves of the plant start to look they are deflated, wrinkly, or shriveling, this is another sign it needs water. During the winter I water my succulents less. The soil stays wet longer (one or two months). Now, during the spring/summer I water every three to four weeks (two at the most). Water intake depends on the temperature outside or inside, where you live, humidity, amount of sunlight the plant receives and it’s intensity, etc..
Lastly, these plant look great in hanging baskets. I have mine in them. If you eventually decide to repot your plant make sure to give it its own pot or hanging-basket. I would not combine two plants into one. They will start to compete for resources (water and soil nutrients). This plant also spreads out when it grows, so it will eventually take up the whole pot. That is what mine did.
Also, you will eventually get pink/red dime-sized flowers.

I hope this is helpful!
Good Luck!
