Graptoveria 'Debbie' is a stunning hybrid succulent born from a cross between Graptopetalum and Echeveria, two beloved genera in the Crassulaceae family. Native to arid, rocky regions of Mexico and Central America by lineage, this easy-care rosette thrives in conditions that mimic bright, warm, and dry environments. It has earned a devoted following among succulent collectors and casual plant lovers alike.
Graptoveria 'Debbie' forms a beautifully symmetrical upright rosette of thick, fleshy leaves that glow in soft purple-pink hues, deepening to a vivid lavender when given a little stress from temperature dips or bright light. The leaves are smooth, slightly powdery in texture, and taper to gentle points, giving the plant a polished, architectural look that stands out on any shelf or windowsill. Each rosette grows to a tidy, manageable size, making Graptoveria 'Debbie' equally at home as a starter plant or a prized specimen in a curated collection.
Graptoveria 'Debbie' produces delightful apricot-to-coral star-shaped blooms on slender stalks, typically appearing in spring when the plant experiences a nighttime temperature drop that triggers flowering. Blooms are small, cheerful, and lightly clustered, adding an unexpected pop of warm color against those cool purple leaves. Encouraging a night temp drop in late winter is the reliable trick for coaxing Graptoveria 'Debbie' into bloom season after season.
Graptoveria 'Debbie' is a slow-growing, drought-tolerant plant that rewards minimal fuss with maximum charm, making it a perfect pet-friendly choice for households with curious cats or dogs. It loves spending summer outdoors on a patio or in the garden but needs cover from rain to prevent rot, and it tolerates dry heated indoor air surprisingly well during winter. Rotate Graptoveria 'Debbie' every few weeks for even, balanced growth, and keep it away from direct AC or heater vents that blast concentrated air. If you head out for up to ten days, no worries — this resilient beauty holds its own, and it will gently signal thirst by showing slight leaf wrinkling or softness.
-
Graptoveria 'Debbie' thrives in bright indirect light but appreciates a few hours of morning direct sun to deepen its purple color.
Water Graptoveria 'Debbie' deeply every 10-14 days in summer, reducing to once every 3-4 weeks in winter.
Graptoveria 'Debbie' needs a fast-draining mix of cactus soil blended with coarse perlite or pumice at a 1:1 ratio.
Graptoveria 'Debbie' prefers 65-80°F (18-27°C) and is not frost-hardy below 25°F (-4°C) without protection.
Graptoveria 'Debbie' is a slow to moderate grower that benefits from a light balanced fertilizer once in spring and once in early summer.
Graptoveria 'Debbie' is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, tolerating brief dips to around 25°F (-4°C) but preferring frost-free winters. Gardeners growing Graptoveria 'Debbie' outdoors year-round will find ideal conditions across California, Arizona, Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, and the mild coastal stretches of Oregon and Washington. Nevada's warmer southern valleys, New Mexico's lower elevations, and parts of Arkansas and North Carolina with protected microclimates can also support Graptoveria 'Debbie' through mild winters.

Q: Is Graptoveria 'Debbie' pet friendly?
A: Yes, Graptoveria 'Debbie' is pet friendly and considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe and beautiful choice for pet households.
Q: How often should I water Graptoveria 'Debbie'?
A: Water Graptoveria 'Debbie' every 10-14 days in warm months and cut back to every 3-4 weeks in winter. When leaves look slightly soft or wrinkled, that is your cue to water.
Q: How much light does Graptoveria 'Debbie' need?
A: Graptoveria 'Debbie' does best in bright indirect light with some gentle morning sun. Avoid prolonged harsh afternoon sun in south-facing windows, which can scorch the leaves.
Q: How fast does Graptoveria 'Debbie' grow?
A: Graptoveria 'Debbie' is a slow to moderate grower, gradually producing offsets around the base that are perfect for propagation. Patience pays off with this one.
Q: Can I propagate Graptoveria 'Debbie'?
A: Graptoveria 'Debbie' propagates easily from leaf cuttings or offsets — simply remove a healthy leaf or a basal pup, let it callous for a day or two, and set it on dry succulent soil. New roots and rosettes appear within a few weeks.
Q: Can Graptoveria 'Debbie' grow outside?
A: Graptoveria 'Debbie' loves spending summer on a patio or balcony and thrives as an outdoor plant in USDA Zones 9-11 year-round. Just provide cover from heavy rain and bring it indoors if frost threatens.

Level Up Again: Essential Third Edition for Video Game Designers
Format: Paperback
If you’re serious about making fun and successful videogames, you will buy, read and learn from Level Up! 3rd Edition. I was the first person to pre order the 1st edition, and as someone who worked alongside Scott Rogers at videogame publisher THQ, I can tell you this newly expanded volume is the most complete, accessible guide to video game design yet.
Scott Rogers remains the “heavy hitter” I described in my original review—equal parts lifelong gamer, pen and paper enthusiast, and seasoned industry pro. He’s witnessed games evolve from the ground up, studied every mechanic, and distilled decades of professional game design wisdom into lessons both beginners and veterans can apply immediately.
Building on the solid foundation of the 1st edition—history, team roles, idea to concept mapping, the Triangle of Weirdness, and the Beat Chart—the 3rd Edition has been expanded to cover today’s challenges. You’ll see how to develop ideas with real world appeal and weave monetization strategies into your game designs from day one.
A new chapter on playtesting walks you through structuring tests, gathering actionable feedback, and iterating mechanics, saving you weeks of blind alleys.
There’s an in depth exploration of pre production through post mortem so you can avoid feature creep, scope collapse, and production bottlenecks.
You’ll also find dedicated guidance for console, mobile, VR/AR/MR, and live service games—including detailed control schemes, UI/UX patterns, and economy rules tailored to each platform. And consistent with the first two editions, Scott includes new exercises and analogies—even an original chili recipe that illustrates balancing risk versus reward in game economies (and because Scott loves chili).
You’ll still find the clear “Universal Truths” synopses at each chapter’s end, an updated table of contents and index for quick reference, and the cartoons and Rogers isms that make complex concepts easier to understand. If you want to level up your game design knowledge, grab this 3rd Edition of Level Up! For a deep dive on the original material, see my full review of the 1st edition on Amazon.

Like you have a smart helpful co-worker
Format: Paperback
This is the friendliest way to learn real practical game design you’ll ever find.
Scott is an expert at this. He knows his stuff. And he’s happy to share. Joyous, even. This book is full of tips and stories and good ways to think about things. There are occasional academic frameworks, but most of those are side notes. Think of this more like you’re starting a job at the game studio of your dreams and the guy sitting next to you knows everything and wants to share.
And he can draw! The sketches are cute and really help get the ideas across. I would read this without the images, but the images make it more fun and easier to absorb.
I’ve read previous editions and this is the best version by far. The section on prototyping is especially nice. Prototyping is a key concept to learn, and breaking it down with some systems thinking is smart. The updated sketches and references throughout the book are also great - it feels current.
About me: I’ve been a professional game designer for over 30 years. I’ve taught this material at colleges for almost ten years. I know game design. This is game design, but even more fun than it already is.

A book about making games that's as fun as playing them
Format: Paperback
If you want a book about making games that's as fun as the games you like to play, Level Up is the book you're looking for. Scott Rogers doodles and jokes as he guides you through not just the basics of game design but through level after level of the challenges that come up in game design and production, sharing tools and wisdom that will put you far ahead of anyone just trying to simply copy their favorite game. Games and the industry that makes them are always changing, so it's exciting to see Scott update Level Up to its third edition with his latest takes and tricks (and even maybe a new joke or two.) Scott doesn't just make games, he truly loves games--and if you love games, he wants to help you make games too. Grab a copy, and get ready to have some fun!
(Disclosure: The publisher was nice enough to send me a copy for review, but they were too late--I had already bought a copy. The additional book has been passed on to a local school game design club.)
