It forms tight rosettes that grow up to 9 cm in diameter and can clump readily. This Altman Plants original hybrid has unknown parentage and is a sought-after addition to any garden.
For Graptoveria 'Pink Ruby' to thrive, it requires well-draining soil and lots of sunlight. It is best suited to growing in full sun during the cooler seasons of spring, autumn, and winter.

This sun-loving plant needs watering regularly during the summer months, but minimal water is required in winter. Overwatering can lead to root rot, and pest infestations can also occur. To ensure optimal growth, fertilize with a balanced fertilizer once during the growing season diluted to 1/4 strength. Propagation is easy via seeds, offsets, or leaf cuttings.

This plant is also an excellent choice for garden art such as orbs or wreaths, adding instant color to any setting.
