10/10/19 - such a cute little flower #graptopetalum #rusbyi #graptopetalum-rusbyi #graptopetalumrusbyi

10/10/19 - I have the hardest time keeping this type alive 😭 I almost lost this one recently but somehow it’s hanging in there #graptopetalum #rusbyi #graptopetalum-rusbyi #graptopetalumrusbyi

25/7/19 - Picked this up today for $2 👌 The last one I had died during the summer let’s hope I can keep this one alive #graptopetalum #rusbyi #graptopetalum-rusbyi #graptopetalumrusbyi

These are kind of touchy for me. Super attractive to mealybugs and burn easily— unlike the vast majority of my graptos, mine is outdoors but in partial shade.

Yeah my last one got burnt so I learnt that the hard way. I’m gonna have to find it the perfect spot before summer comes back @mauspad

31/1/19 - Another one I lost during the super hot weather 😭😭😭 The tiniest baby is hanging in there but I don’t have much hope. #graptopetalum #rusbyi #graptopetalum-rusbyi #graptopetalumrusbyi

I am so sorry to see. What conditions are you keeping it in? Helen Lee had some nice clumps last time I saw.

Thanks @Yollymac I had it in early morning sun for 3-4 hours and then it was shaded the rest of the day. It was doing fine until the 46° day then just kinda disintegrated 😢

Did you water them?

Only once a week like the rest. But I didn’t water before or during the heatwave. I thought I was doing the right thing 😞 @Yollymac

I am finding rusbyi to be fussy 😩

I’m thinking mine is gonna have to go with the fussy plants too @janene

@sinsarah ...So much to learn. Most have made it through the heat but some have succumbed. Not sure what happened but they just slowly stopped and then died. Experience is telling me that I am going to choose the more hardy ones from now on.. Seems the stonecrops are the ones I am losing. Time for me to become a little more selective.

It even came with flowers #graptopetalum #rusbyi #graptopetalum-rusbyi #graptopetalumrusbyi

Massive tick off the Wishlist 🤗 #graptopetalum #rusbyi #graptopetalum-rusbyi #graptopetalumrusbyi
