compare to Graptopetalum filiferum

Not sure which is the new pot, assume the first one but can see some red ribbon/fabric? Just checking to make sure it’s got at least one drainage hole? If it’s the first pot, a side view will give a better view to determine if it’s big enough. Gritty fast draining compost...?

Rina,

That looks like it, thanks!

Gill,

Yeah sorry, I was deciding which photos to post and one of them with the original pot didn't look as good. The original pot (1st pic) was full of that paper filler and moss with some dirt just below the plant. And it also had no drainage hole. I repotted the plant into a plastic pot with multiple drainage holes (2nd pic). And the mix is 3/3/3 c&s soil, perlite, and chicken grit.

Well I got that back to front then didn’t I? Lol! Your mix sounds good and glad the pot has drainage holes.

Shouldn't matter about the lower leaves overhanging, just make sure they don’t begin to get cut on their undersides by the pot edge if things take off when it warms up and growth kicks in, especially if more pups form, you may then have to move it on sooner than you think. A half pot would suit it later on as they’re wider than their depth...just a suggestion :-)

Hey Skyler I see this plant is from Altman's. I'd know that sticker from anywhere and this is Graptoveria 'Silver Star'. I honestly can't tell the difference between the 'Silver Star' and Graptopetalum filiferum but I do know Altman's carries 'Silver Star' right now;). It's a hybrid of Graptopetalum filiferum x Echeveria agavoides var. multifida. The care is probably exactly the same;).

Kara,

The pot is actually a spare I repotted it into (plant is from LiveTrends Design), but the ID seems correct. I see some pups when googling that species. Thank you :)

I'll have to see if the color changes any by having it under my grow light because it's pretty green right now. Have to acclimate it first though since it's probably equivalent to full sun.

I don't know about the hybrid, but recommendation for G. filiferum are: Likes light shade to part sun (it will take a few hours of sun without a problem), but adapts very well to shade too. Likes a bit of shade for best colour in leaves,

I keep my plant under lights, but amongst taller plants - so the light is somewhat filtered. Leaves are very nice, silvery-gray tinge.
