With many varieties available, each has its own specific care requirements, especially when it comes to humidity. Understanding these needs can help enthusiasts cultivate healthy and thriving plants. Here are the top five Graptoveria varieties and their unique humidity preferences.
1. Graptoveria ‘Debbie’
‘Debbie’ is renowned for its pastel pink and lavender hues. It prefers dry environments but can tolerate moderate humidity. Excess moisture can lead to rot, so good drainage and air circulation are essential for this variety.
2. Graptoveria ‘Teddy Bear’
This fuzzy variety thrives in low to moderate humidity. Its velvety texture helps it resist excess moisture, but high humidity levels can cause fungal issues. Ensure it is kept in well-ventilated areas to prevent problems.
3. Graptoveria ‘Fred Ives’
‘Fred Ives’ features striking red-tipped leaves with a rosette shape. It prefers dry conditions and is sensitive to high humidity. Overly humid environments can cause leaf rot, so watering should be minimal and soil should dry out completely between watering.

‘Alpenglow’ is appreciated for its vibrant pink and orange hues. It tolerates a range of humidity levels but performs best in low humidity environments. Proper drainage and avoiding excess moisture are key to its health.
