Graptoveria 'Bashful' is a charming specimen that more than lives up to its name, appearing as a demure, mint green rosette-shaped succulent in more shaded conditions, and blushing to a rich, warm, show stealing red when exposed to full sun! The chubby leaves of ‘Bashful’ grow upward and cluster closely around the 3 to 5-inch rosettes, making this compact specimen easy to tuck into nearly any container arrangement where a pop of changeable color is needed!

While ‘Bashful’ requires some degree of bright sunlight to truly thrive, it can tolerate shade for a portion of the day, depending on what hue you would prefer for it to display! What is not negotiable, however, is a thorough but infrequent watering routine, as periods of prolonged moisture can predispose this succulent to rot or pests. Following a method such as ‘soak and dry,’ in conjunction with a porous soil mixture within a well-draining pot, will have you well on your way to success.

During the winter months, be sure to protect this tender succulent from frost, which could otherwise result in permanent damage to the leaves. As the weather warms in the spring, ‘Bashful’ will send up stalks of petite pale yellow blooms, adding yet another layer of color to this ever-changing variety!
