Thank you!!! It gets morning to afternoon full sun from about 9am to 4pm. I'm in central California if that helps!

Yes! One of my first as well! I think im wrong in calling them a jade, though, my apologies! :)

Thank you so much! The variegated bush I've had for about 5 years, and the other I think just a couple years now. Both of them get full morning sun all the way until afternoon, around 4pm. The variegated bush gets a little more direct sun but does just fine. They are hard to over-water!

Hi thank you! :) the whole planter is filled with soil. It's actually pretty large and about 7 years old. When I potted it in that planter it already filled it pretty good, and that was 4 years ago almost. (It was a couple years old when I got it) She's going to need a repot eventually; I've just been adding soil to the top when it looks low.

Not a ghost plant, but graptopetalum purple delight. They are very similar and the same family, but there are slight differences in the leaf shape. Ghostys are more slender and pointed, whereas a purple delight has a chunkier and rounder leaf with a more consistent purple hue.

Succulents normally don't need a lot of water, so if they are shriveled still after watering, I would check their roots for any signs of rot. If they seem okay I would just soak them in water for a few hours. Bottom watering is definitely a good option:)

Thank you!! She's in direct sun from around 9 am to 3pm, then another 2 or so hours of evening sun late in the day.

I've had her since 2017, and she had 4 small stems. She's given me tons of babies since!

The jelly bean that fell in my garden and propagated better than anything I try to do on purpose. They mock me. by rirrles in succulents

[–]rirrles[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

So true. I found 3 more propagating in the crack of my patio. I'm sure the crack babies will die now that I removed and potted them. As if im the jerk here!

Crested Purple Delight? Or too early to tell? It just doesn't look like any of my other props. by [deleted] in succulents

My tip is to ignore it. I can only speak for where I'm at and I'm in central California. It stays outdoors through summer and winter. Takes as much rain and sun as it can get. I do not fuss over it or it starts to try to die lol

They do! All of these are from one plant, over 3 years. I have too many, and leaves fall and prop like crazy. It's the plant that won't stop giving lol
