Autumn is always a time when I start to really check on succulents that have produced babies these ones that I picked from my succulent garden area have grown so big they are full of healthy growth and they have a healthy stem on them for propagating
These have been growing in my big ceramic pot for over 2 years I always use a good quality soil mix and I apply sea sol which is a natural fertiliser with seaweed extract
The main area you need for these to stress and turn this purple colour is a warm shaded area in summer to protect the leaves from burning in the colder seasons its good for them to get sunlight

Lately I have been researching a lot more different varieties of Succulents & House Plants there is just something about leafy greens and succulents that have a variation of pinks purples & whites that im really loving for my garden
As I was stumbling online searches of the Tradescantia Tricolour me & my mum found these little succulents that we've been looking at for ages on Ebay and the lady that sold them to us actually lived down the road from us which was really good as she has such a beautiful arrangement of different plants they were only $10 a pot which was such a bargain
I already have few different Tradescantia's already but the tri colour one has been on my Wishlist for ages now we also got a senecio peregrinus which is called string of Dolphins plectranthus prostratus which is also called swedish ivy hearts
Purple Heart Tradescantia
These types of plant grow like wild from a tiny clipping I have propagated heaps of the Purple Heart plant all over different garden beds we have you must give them a good water about twice a week you really need to keep the soil moist for these plants they also love indirect sunlight as well
The Rhoeo Spathacea also called Moses in the cradle has also been on my Wishlist this little stunner loves the full sun and like the Tradescantia it also loves a good moister level of water for the soil I added some string of pearls to this to add some more texture

Gardening has been one of my favourite things to do for a few years now I've recently bought some new Cactus inspired pots and planted some of my favourite Succulents from my garden
I tend to grow many different types of Echeveria's & Sedums the reason why I love these are because they tend to grow super quickly and in clusters they have a gorgeous arrangement of colours and they all require only a little bit of water Sempervivum Tectorum
They look like little roses with a pop of brownish leaves they produce small pink red or orange star shaped flowers
The pots are from Tims Garden Centre I also use the Tims best potting mix
