Graptoveria 'Olivia'

Graptoveria 'Olivia' (O'Connell): Intergeneric hybrid of Graptopetalum x Echeveria. Olive green rosette with a pink flush to its leaf margins and a bronze sheen. This cultivar can bloom in the spring/summer growing season, sending up a tall bloom stalk with pale yellow flowers.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings and leaves.Look to our for tips on succulent propagation.
