The Peach Egg is also called the Peach Ovum (Graptopetalum amethystinum). Its appearance is round and plump, and its color is just like a peach blossom, very beautiful. The Peach Egg grows vigorously, and apart from a brief summer dormancy, it grows the rest of the time. As long as you pay attention to 4 aspects, it is also very easy to care for.
Light
To care for the Peach Egg, ample light is indispensable. Because the Peach Egg is a winter-growing type of succulent, only with sufficient light will the leaves take on a soft pink color and become more plump.
If the Peach Egg in some flower lovers' homes turns green, that is mostly related to light. Apart from appropriate shading in summer, sufficient light of more than 8 hours must be ensured in the other seasons.
Watering
If you want the Peach Egg to be more plump, the watering method must be correct, and proper water control is essential. Wait until the leaves wrinkle slightly before watering, this way the leaves will absorb water even more vigorously, and proper water control can also reduce the formation of green pigment in the leaves, so they naturally become soft and pink.
Soil
The Peach Egg has relatively high soil requirements, and you must choose a loose, breathable, and fertile soil. You can add some maifan stone or vermiculite to peat soil. Slightly acidic soil is most suitable; do not add some alkaline media with large particles.
Fertilizing
The growth of the Peach Egg has a relatively large demand for nutrients. Apart from not fertilizing during the brief summer dormancy period, some fertilizer needs to be added at other times.
