Graptopetalum — 8 species

Graptopetalum are rosette-forming succulents native to Mexico and Arizona, valued for their pearl-grey to lavender fleshy leaves that blush pink or apricot under stronger sun. Ghost Plant (Graptopetalum paraguayense) and Beautiful Graptopetalum are among the most forgiving members of the Crassulaceae family. They need at least six hours of bright light daily — a south- or west-facing windowsill suits them well — and should be watered only once the soil is completely dry. All Graptopetalum species are confirmed non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA.
