Highlights
Graptosedum 'Alpenglow' (aka 'Bronze' or 'Vera Higgins'): Brilliant pink leaves, shading from light rose to deep coral. The stems can grow long and start to bend and trail, with leaves growing on the full length of the stems. It can also be kept more compact with regular pruning (How to Fix Overgrown Succulents). It is a strong grower that can eventually form thick clusters in a range of sunset tones. This cultivar is likely a hybrid of Graptopetalum paraguayense x Sedum stahlii.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings and mature leaves.Look to our Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
