Below, Qinnong Web will introduce the care methods for Graptoveria 'Titubans'.
1. Temperature
Graptoveria 'Titubans' is a winter-growing succulent. Its most suitable growth temperature is 15-25°C. In winter, the lowest temperature must not be below 5°C, otherwise it is prone to frost damage. In daily care, it needs to be placed in a warm, dry and ventilated environment, and its adaptability is very strong.
2. Watering
Graptoveria 'Titubans' is relatively drought-tolerant. Stick to the principle of “water thoroughly only after the soil dries out”. Usually, water once a month. In summer, when temperatures are high and the soil dries out quickly, water 4-5 times a month, but it does not need to be watered thoroughly, as long as it can maintain normal growth. In winter, when the temperature is below 5°C, gradually stop watering. Below 3°C, keep the potting soil dry, and try to keep it no lower than minus 3°C. In the cold winter, too much water will cause root rot.
3. Light
The main growing seasons for Graptoveria 'Titubans' are spring and autumn. In summer, it grows slowly and is in a semi-dormant period. During the growing season, ensure full sun exposure. In winter, the light is not strong, and more sun exposure can prevent leggy growth. In the hot summer, it does not need to receive light; just place it in a ventilated spot.
4. Propagation methods
Graptoveria 'Titubans' is mainly propagated by side shoots, leaf cuttings and beheading. After beheading, new shoots growing from the remaining stem and roots continue the offspring, and it is very easy to grow side shoots, with a relatively high survival rate. Leaf cuttings can produce large batches of seedlings. Spring is the season when side shoots burst out, and at this time propagation and growth are fastest. Graptoveria 'Titubans' can be propagated in all four seasons. Small leaves dropped on the soil surface or inserted into the soil can grow into independent plants.
