General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Graptopetalum Glassii, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three liners per 1-gallon container.

Pinching may promote branching but will delay finishing time. Supply 5,000-7,500 foot candles of light. Water deeply and then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. With no overwatering, any disease is rare among this plant. You may see aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites.
