Graptoveria Fred Ives

Graptoveria 'Fred Ives' is a beautiful hybrid succulent, known for its stunning rosette-shaped foliage. The leaves are thick, slightly pointed, and vary in color, displaying a mesmerizing blend of pastel hues including pink, purple, blue, yellow, and green. The coloration can change depending on the light conditions, with more vibrant shades appearing under bright, direct sunlight.

This succulent can grow up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall and wide, forming a dense clump over time. The plant produces star-shaped, yellow flowers on long stems during the blooming season, adding to its ornamental appeal.

Graptoveria 'Fred Ives' is easy to care for, making it a popular choice for both novice and experienced succulent enthusiasts. It thrives in well-draining soil and prefers a bright location with plenty of sunlight. Like most succulents, it requires minimal watering; it's best to water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.
