Popular variegated succulents
What makes certain succulents variegated? Some plants will produce leaves with beautiful streaks or patterns of various colors. When there is a variation in leaf color, the plant has an uneven distribution of the green pigment chlorophyll in some of their plant cells. Variegation in succulents can happen naturally, be caused by a virus, or even produced by a mutation as well as other factors.

Exelente vidio I'm love with this plant it's gorgeus thaks for sharing.
Hi I'm having trouble with my leaves they falling right off
I was pleased to hear that you mentioned you are here in Texas. I to live here in Texas and I was starting to get nervous with the winter coming. The reason is I just started my garden of succulents and I want to make sure I know what I'm doing. It's funny that I'm nervous about the winter because there's really not much of a winter here. What advice do you give me? Am I to bring in the succulents during the winter?
I LOVE this succulent, its absolutely gorgeous 🙂 thanks a million for sharing and sending tons of love and happiness and Succulent Power from right across the emerald Isle for a fantastic Tuesday XXXX <3
