So…any Sand Rose parents out there!? I’m curious about mine growing some green above the pink!? Normal? Sickness? What’s going on…!?

That’s normal without sufficient light. Mine gets bright light for about 16 hours every day. New growth comes in green before changing to the reddish color.

Well damn! I got a small full spectrum light a foot or so away for at least 12 hours each day…maybe I’ll bump it up to 16!? Love your whole set up by the way! Did you construct it yourself?

Do I spot an older Jade plant in the top left there!?

No it’s actually my beautiful peperomia hope. And the set up is a shelving unit from Amazon. This is living room. Most of my succulents are in the dining room.

I really need to cut back. Too many plants. Luckily we have the room for them.
