I got a gorgeous Graptopetalum Belum a year ago. A completely new plant for me, but after I saw the flowers online I couldn't resist. And because it is something new, I always prefer to get a little cutting from it right away. In case I kill it you know ;)
I repoted it, put it on my balcony and the following summer it bloomed. And my oh my, aren't those gorgeous! And I did not kill it! She is doing great. Still small (the size of a tangerine maybe), but that's how they are. And new flower stems are growing again. Two this time (there was one last year).
What happened to the cutting? It is fine too :)
It was actually a couple of leaves I took from the bottom of the plant while I was changing the pots. I left them on top of a soil in a small container when I always leave all the broken of succulent leaves, misted it from time to time, and look.... one year later I have about 5 more tiny rosettes growing. Maybe next year they will bloom too.

whoa, what a beatiful flower, thanks for share! Also if you like aerial cinematic photos and videos, follow my blog, it would be honor to me! :)
It is a lovely one, thank you!
I will stop by :)
Oh wow amazing how you make things grow with your touch. Didn't realize you could also grow new plants from the cutting.
Most plats will grow from a cutting :) This one actually grew from a single leaf.
Beautiful, nothing more to say 😆
Thanks. Just keep admiring :D
Wow!! I have some but they never flowered!
The flower is gorgous and so are your pictures.
Regards,
Aww... such a pity. I keep this one outside on the sun and rain and cold nights. It must like that.
I can see why you wanted one of those plants - the flowers are amazing! It sounds like you have a green thumb. :)
It is amazing! Almost unproportionally big comparing to the plant itself.
I think I do... my family keeps telling me that too :)
very nice
