x Graptoveria 'Moonglow'

The Northern night sky is interesting right now with Venus and Jupiter passing closely by each other. And we've had a beautiful full moon lighting up the sky. And Graptoveria 'Moonglow' is looking gorgeous in the greenhouse. How's that for a lead in.
These are big, handsome plants, soft but bold, hidden away at the far end of one of the greenhouse aisles. Safely maneuvering down the greenhouse aisle may be a challenge at this time of year, filled as it is with excess plants desperately waiting for some warmer Spring weather so they can go outside, but it's worth the risk.

    1. I'm sorry you're having problems with your plant. Most likely it's being caused by over-watering, but it's impossible to say for certain. It's fairly important to know that this isn't a "cactus" as cacti have very different requirements. But there are some tings in common. I have a basic article at http://www.karacactus.com/growingsucculents01.htm which you might want to check out. Good luck.
