10年以上前にスーパーで買った食用多肉の「グラパラリーフ」🍀
葉っぱが5〜6枚ほどだったかな? 数枚試食したのち、残りを土に置いておいたらやがて子株が育ち、去年からは可愛いお花も咲くようになりました。
グラパラリーフとは、同一種の多肉植物「朧月(おぼろづき)」を数年かけ、野菜として品種改良したもので、学名のグラプトペタルム・パラグアイエンセは共通らしく、これを略して “グラパラ” リーフなのだそう。
結構豊富な栄養素が含まれているようで、特にカルシウムやマグネシウムが多く、二日酔いや疲労防止にも効くらしいのですが…、食べるのはそれほど食指が動かず、もっぱら観賞用として育てております😆

Two new plants. My other plants I got to growing up to a decent point, but not fully and they left here one by one. 😢 But succulents (like these new plants) are easier to care for as the conditions they require are more straightforward and basic. 🌿🌿
The greener one is Crassula ovata (also called a Money tree, although I don't follow the thought that it can affect my financial life) and the lighter colored one is the Graptopetalum Paraguayense (also called Mother-of-pearl or Ghost plant because of the powdery white layer). 🍃🍃

Graptos keep being weird.
This prop is growing as well as its siblings, but his first leaf was very broad. I don’t know why. It seems to think it’s some kind of... I don’t even know. Maybe it saw bear paws on my computer once?
And this was just a tiny Grapto-colored ball I found in the main pot. It had a single root sprouting out, so I left it on the soil and now it’s pushing out teeny tiny leaves. My guess is that it fell off its mother plant before it started looking like a leaf...
I don’t know which plant these two came from; would be funny is they had the same mother plant!
