Graptopetalum Amethystinum (4 inch)

About Graptopetalum Amethystinum (4 inch)

Graptopetalum Amethystinum, a beloved succulent variety, boasts plump, egg-shaped leaves with a delicate layer of farina, giving them a powdery appearance. Under sunlight, these leaves easily blush from pale pink to purple, adding an adorable touch. As Graptopetalum Amethystinum matures , its stem becomes woody, forming a tree-structurelike. In the summer, it blooms vibrant red, star-shaped flowers.

How to care for Graptopetalum Amethystinum (4 inch)

Sunlight: Graptopetalum Amethystinum thrives in bright light. Insufficient light results in green foliage, while adequate sunlight brings out its pink hues. Provide at least 4 hours of direct sunlight or 8 hours of indirect light near a window for indoor care.

Temperature: Ideally, maintain temperatures between 60-75°F (15-25°C), although it can tolerate a range of 40-95°F (5-35°C). However, its thick leaves make it susceptible to frost damage in winter.

Watering: With its thick leaves capable of storing water, Graptopetalum Amethystinum doesn't require frequent watering. Wait until the succulent soil is completely dry before thorough watering. Watch for leaf wrinkling as a sign of dehydration. Overwatering, especially in summer, may lead to root rot.

Soil and Pot: Use well-draining soil and pots with drainage holes. Opt for a pot 1.5 times larger than the plant.

Propagation: Graptopetalum Amethystinum is incredibly easy to propagate, making it an ideal choice for beginners. The succulent can be propagated from leaf cuttings or beheading.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.
