Alpenglow Graptosedum, botanically listed as Graptosedum 'Alpenglow', is a live succulent plant selected for its distinctive form and ornamental appeal. Natural color, size, form, and presentation may vary slightly with season, maturity, and growing conditions.
Graptosedum 'Alpenglow', also known as 'Vera Higgins', is a beautiful hybrid succulent plant that exhibits a striking blend of colors and is popular among succulent enthusiasts. Here’s a detailed look at its morphological characteristics, growth habits, maintenance points, and reproduction methods:
Morphological Characteristics
- Leaves: The leaves of Graptosedum 'Alpenglow' are thick, fleshy, and spoon-shaped, exhibiting a stunning range of colors from green to pink to a vibrant orange-red, especially when grown in bright sunlight. The leaves form rosettes that can grow up to 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter.
- Size: This plant typically grows up to 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) tall and spreads outwards, creating a ground-cover effect in gardens or clusters in pots.
- Flowers: It blooms in late winter to early spring, producing small star-shaped flowers that are usually yellow or white, adding an extra layer of beauty to the already colorful plant.
Growth Habits
- Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. The colors become more vibrant with exposure to more sunlight but should be protected from intense midday sun in hot climates to prevent scorching.
- Temperature: It is fairly cold hardy, able to withstand temperatures as low as 20°F (-6°C), but it should be protected from frost to avoid damage.
- Water: Like most succulents, Graptosedum 'Alpenglow' requires minimal watering. Allow the soil to completely dry out between waterings, and water less frequently during the winter months.
Maintenance Points
- Soil: Requires well-draining soil. A cactus or succulent potting mix is ideal, possibly amended with sand or pumice for improved drainage.
- Pot: When grown in containers, ensure they have adequate drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom.
- Fertilizer: Feeding is not generally necessary but applying a diluted low-nitrogen succulent fertilizer in the growing season (spring and summer) can support vigorous growth.
- Pruning: Dead or damaged leaves should be removed to maintain health and appearance. Trimming back can encourage a bushier growth habit.
Reproduction Method
- Offsets: Graptosedum 'Alpenglow' can produce offsets or pups around the base of the plant. These can be gently separated and replanted to propagate new plants.
- Leaf cuttings: Leaves can be easily propagated. Simply twist a leaf from the stem, allow it to callous over for a few days, and then place it on well-draining soil until it roots and begins to grow.
- Stem cuttings: Stem cuttings can also be used for propagation. Cut a piece of the stem, let it dry and callous for a few days, then plant it in well-draining soil. It will root and grow into a new plant.
Graptosedum 'Alpenglow' is celebrated for its ease of care and striking appearance, making it a favorite for succulent gardens, container arrangements, and as a standalone specimen. Its vibrant colors and easy propagation make it a joy for beginners and experienced gardeners alike.

Better than expected - big office cleanup
Size: 6ft, Color: Yellow, Size: 6ft, Color: Yellow
I got this power strip because it seemed like the most plausible one available, notwithstanding the reviews which particularly complained about it being prone to overheating. I certainly didn't want to burn down my home, so I tested it pretty thoroughly before I got anywhere near installing it.
The power strip arrived exactly as claimed. It is indeed 45 inches long with sixteen outlets. The power cord is substantial-feeling, and feels like it's probably 14 AWG, or possibly #12 (Pic 1), and was the length I expected (6' in my case). The mounting brackets are sufficient to mount the power strip, but only at the ends, and they can't be concealed. This means that things don't end up as solid as one would like, and if you really care about aesthetics you'll end up being offended, but hey this is a power strip, and if you didn't have it the power cord mess would be way uglier.
The outlets themselves are spaced out well enough that there's enough room to put in fairly wide wall wart transformers, but not those which have the plug pins configured such that the transformer has to point sideways. This means that if you want to be able to fill all of the slots, you can only put one of these in, and it has to go at the right-hand end. If you locate it on the left then it covers the switch. In my case, I filled the strip up completely, with one sideways transformer at the right hand end, and I still have many more plugs which won't go, but I've at least managed to improve my cable management a fair bit.
Before I installed it, I tested it by boiling an electric kettle using the outlet which is the farthest from the switch (Pic 2). This is the most stressful way to test things, since is stresses all of the wiring and intermediate outlets before it even gets to the one I was using. The kettle draws 11.6 Amps, so about 1400W (though it's amps that actually matter). I then watched the thermal behaviour of the power strip as it worked. As can be seen the first thermograph, Pic 3, the power strip itself stayed cool, indeed barely above ambient. The power meter and power cord going to the kettle are on the right. Pic 4 shows a detail of the switch end of the power strip. The switch never heated to above 77F, which was again barely above ambient. Pic 5 shows a detail of the power meter shown in Pic 2. As can be easily seen, the power cord for the kettle warms up a bit, reaching 100F, but this is clearly the kettle's power cord and plug warming up, not the power strip itself. Pic 6 shows a detail of the unused outlets on the strip. These all warmed up a little, but never got over 83F. To me, this is negligible.
As a result of this testing, I had no problems with going ahead and installing the power strip. I knew I'd be filling the power strip, but just adding up the devices I planned to plug in (two desktops, four screens, and numerous other devices), I knew that I wouldn't need more than about 4.5 amps, so I have at least 2.6X headroom. Pic 7 shows a part of the power strip as installed - I couldn't get far enough back to show all of it. Pic 8 is a thermograph of the same, with the power strip running across the middle of the picture. The how spots on the power strip are all transformers - clearly not very efficient, but not actually more than warm, and not the power strip's fault. By contrast, the really hot items visible are a DSL router on the far right, and a VOIP phone device lower on the right. Thus, I conclude that there's nothing untoward with the power strip. Lots of the devices I use are inefficient and/or run fairly hot, but if my house burns down, it doesn't look like it's going to be because of this power strip.
All told, this product seems to be very good value for something that actually cleans up my life and has this many outlets. It exceeded my expectations, particularly since my expectations had been lowered by some of the other reviews. It would certainly have been better (for me) had it been longer and with more, and more widely-spaced, outlets, but I can't fault them for making what they made, and their claims seem to have been accurate. Still, the construction is not terribly sturdy and the mounting brackets should have been better thought out.

Plenty of Outlets and Solid Build
Size: 6ft, Color: Silver
I now have way more outlets than I’ll ever need—haha—but that’s not a bad problem to have! This power strip fits neatly behind my TV stand and feels very well made. The spacing between outlets is convenient for larger plugs, and it seems built to last. Overall, a high-quality and practical solution for managing multiple devices.

Good for dc power supplies
Size: 6ft, Color: Yellow, Size: 6ft, Color: Yellow
The AC outlets are very snug. I’m using this primarily for battery tenders and battery chargers; the outlets are spaced far enough apart to fit the dc power supplies and they stay in place even when mounted horizontally.

As good or better than most.
Size: 4ft, Color: Silver
I was very happy with this item. It’s very heavy duty and appears to be something that will last me forever.

Cheap, looks good and works good
Size: 13"-32", Style: Dual Arms
Mostly painless install, packaging was subpar but everything works well. Holds a 27" monitor and a 24" monitor very well. Adjustable angles and hinges allowing for customization for your needs. Seems to be very sturdy and hasn't dropped since making sure everything is tight.
Overall, worth it compared to more expensive options.
