Graptopetalum paraguayense
Trailing succulent with glaucous leaves that acquire pinkish tones. Forms attractive carpets and blooms with pink star-shaped flowers.
Graptopetalum paraguayense needs between 5 and 11 hours of direct sunlight per day to maintain its beautiful grey-green colour with pinkish hues; if grown indoors, place it at the sunniest window available. Water very sparingly, allowing the substrate to dry out completely between waterings, as this succulent is highly sensitive to excess moisture. Use a well-draining substrate specifically formulated for cacti and succulents, and make sure the pot has drainage holes. It is a hardy plant that can withstand light frosts down to -5 °C, making it suitable for Mediterranean outdoor gardens as well as indoor growing, with very easy care.
