Graptopetalum Superbum, also known as Ghost Plant or Beautiful Graptopetalum, is an evergreen perennial succulent commonly grown as a houseplant. Gray, lavender, and pink-toned rosettes reach up to 5" in diameter, while yellow and red flowers bloom on multi-branched stems in late winter or early spring. This variety has thicker stems and wider rosettes than Pentandrum. With minimal water Superbum flourishes in full sun, loves warm climates (zone 10), and excels indoors. This succulent is a fantastic addition to rock gardens, mixed containers, and houseplant collections. Overwinter outdoor containers indoors. Plant alongside Paraguayense for a striking contrast.

General Growing Tips For Your Rooted Cutting Liner
For best results with Graptopetalum Superbum, plant one rooted plug per 4-inch container or three liners per 1-gallon container. Use a well-drained mix of peat, sand, and perlite with a pH of 5.6-6.2, EC of .25-.50, low feed (75-125 ppm N), daytime temperatures of 68-85, and nighttime temperatures between 58-75. Pinching may promote branching but will delay finishing time. Supply 5,000-7,500 foot candles of light. Water deeply and then allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. With no overwatering, any disease is rare among this plant. You may see aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
