Adorably cute little purple hybrid. Leaves form small dimples at the end as it grows. Curiously, it takes on a different morphological leaf form if it is grown in warm or cool conditions.
Pot diameter is 2.5in/6cm.
Graptoveria Topsy Debbie care: follow general instructions on the care page.
Water needs: low
Additional notes for this species: grown in warm temperatures, leaves take on a spade shaped form, while in cooler weather, they become more convex, or spoon-shaped leaves packed more tightly. The form can change if the growing conditions change.
Growth rate: slow-medium
Cold hardy: no
Origin: hybrid between graptoveria “Debbie” and echeveria runyonii “topsy turvy.”
Plant will be shipped bare root. The plant in the photo is the plant you will receive. Photos are taken in natural sunlight.
In spring, many photos are taken of plants that have been held in cool storage for 1 – 2 months, which slows growth and can intensify colours in some varieties. When moved/planted back in warmer growing conditions (such as indoors), colours may soften or shift as the plant resumes active growth. Cool-storage photos are always noted on product listings.
Partial Cristate
These unique plants show a mix of crested and normal growth. Growth may change over time as the plant matures, becoming more or less crested. Each plant develops its own structure. The unpredictable growth pattern is part of their appeal.
Higher Elevations
Many succulents originating from higher-elevation habitats perform best with moderate temperatures. They generally appreciate warm, bright days followed by cooler nights rather than being kept continuously warm/hot.
In Canada, these succulents can be grown successfully indoors, but they may grow more vigorously and develop better colour/form when grown outdoors during the warmer months (acclimate to direct sun gradually).
