Genus guide
Graptoveria — 8 species
Part of the Stonecrop succulents family (Crassulaceae)
Graptoveria succulents are intergeneric hybrids of Graptopetalum and Echeveria, producing dense rosettes in shades from coral-pink (Fred Ives, Debbie) to icy lavender (Opalina). They do best in full to partial sun — morning direct light with bright indirect light the rest of the day suits them well — and prefer the soak-and-dry watering method in fast-draining gritty mix. Toxicity varies across cultivars within this hybrid genus, so verify the specific variety before buying if you have cats or dogs at home.
