Greenovia Mona Lisa (4 inch)

About Greenovia Mona Lisa

Greenovia Mona Lisa is a medium-sized rosette-shaped succulent plant in the Sedum family. The leaves are thin and the leaves fit tightly together. The entire rosette is like a rose, and grow lateral buds. Usually glossy, densely packed around the stem and covering most of the lower surface of the leaves. The leaves range in color from bright green to blue-green to light pink, depending on sun exposure and variety. The mother plant is prone to large offsets, but unfortunately, it often dies after flowering because it is monocarpic.

Here's how to care for Greenovia Mona Lisa:

Light/Location: It thrives best outdoors in a well-ventilated area with ample sunlight. However, it's advisable to place it in a spot that avoids excessive exposure. Ideally, they should be shaded during the hottest part of the day. Place the pot in morning sunlight rather than during midday or afternoon. This plant can also grow indoors or under artificial light.

Soil: It thrives in well-draining soil mixtures. Avoid adding any elements that may hinder water evaporation or trap excess moisture. This means coconut peat, coconut husk, peat moss, and other soil amendments should not be used. Additionally, Greenovia Mona Lisa prefers dry soil, so the more porous the mixture, the better.

Watering: It appreciates generous watering throughout its growing period. If the plant is in a well-ventilated outdoor area, you can thoroughly soak the soil during each watering session. Make sure the soil is thoroughly dry prior to the next watering session. During winter, soil moisture evaporation rates may decrease, necessitating a reduction in watering frequency.

Propagation: Generally, separate Greenovia offsets from the mother plant using a sharp, sterilized knife or pruning shears. You may need to uproot the entire pot beforehand to clearly see the root structure and stems. Ideally, offsets will have their own young root systems, so try to keep these intact.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option.
