Water
As a succulent plant, Graptoveria Lovely Rose doesn’t require frequent watering. It prefers the soil on the dry side. Give it a drink once a week in summer and once every two weeks in winter. It’s recommended to let the soil dry out completely between hydrations, as excess moisture leads to root rot.
