Graptoveria amethorum
Sedum family, Graptopetalum genus
Also known as purple grapes or red grapes. It is a perennial succulent herb, a medium to small variety. Graptoveria amethorum looks a bit like the small and锦 of the leaf ball, with thicker leaves than the small and锦. Graptoveria amethorum easily produces creeping stems from the base, semi-creeping on the soil surface, with small rosette leaf clusters at the top of the stems. The succulent leaves are arranged in a rosette pattern, short and spatulate, flat on the front, convex on the back with dense purple-red dots, the leaf tip has a small spike, the leaf color is light gray-green or light blue-green, the leaf surface is smooth with a waxy layer, not afraid of water. Graptoveria amethorum has cymose inflorescences axillary, flowers are upside-down bell-shaped, with 5 lobes at the front. Red, the top is yellow, flowering period is from June to August.
Under strong light and large day-night temperature differences or low temperatures in winter, the leaf tips will turn slightly red. Graptoveria amethorum needs sufficient sunlight to make the leaf color vivid and the plant compact and beautiful with thick leaves. Insufficient sunlight will result in light leaf color, loose leaf arrangement, elongation, and thinning of the leaves, making them more brittle.
The soil must be completely dry before watering, and slow-release fertilizer can be applied. Propagation is done through leaf insertion, cutting, and division, or by sowing. Cuttings can be performed throughout the year, choosing thick leaves for insertion, but leaf insertion is slower. The kite is mainly propagated through cutting and division.
In the growing season, remove the leaves from the healthy plant and place them in a shaded environment to dry for a few days. After the wound is slightly dry, it can be placed on the slightly moist soil surface, watered slightly, keeping the potting soil slightly moist, which is very easy to root and become an independent plant. When the cutting roots reach 2-3 centimeters in length, they can be transplanted into small pots for cultivation.
After cutting, the leaf disc can be placed in a shaded place to dry for 3 to 5 days, then inserted into the seedbed when the cut surface is slightly dry. The soil in the seedbed should be loose. During the cutting process, a solution of carbendazim can be sprayed for sterilization. Ratio 800:1 or 1000:1.
Graptoveria amethorum has no major diseases or pests, and good ventilation is sufficient.
In the growing period, it should be exposed to plenty of sunlight. In the summer, when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, it is prone to sunburn, so it can be appropriately shaded or half-day sunned, avoiding direct sunlight at noon. Graptoveria amethorum does not grow too slowly, the plant is drought-resistant, and it can be watered when it looks dry, with the main focus being on loose and breathable soil. The potting soil used for the kite's cultivation is a mixture of coal slag and peat, and those who find it unattractive can cover it with clean river sand or other particles.
If the plant lacks sunlight, it will easily grow taller, and the leaves will become more fragile, possibly falling off when touched.
