The Perfect Garden Succulent | Ghost Succulent - Graptopetalum paraguayense


I first came across these stunning succulents in a neighbours garden and I was mesmerised. Trailing over hanging baskets and filling containers all over her garden. They looked so delicate and pretty I couldn't understand the unbalance in such cold weather. A few weeks later they were still on my mind as I had never seen them before so I called her up and asked if we could swap some cuttings and sure enough now my roof garden and is full and they look fantastic.





About Graptopetalum paraguayense. 

Cold-hardy, Graptopetalum paraguayense (Ghost Plant) is a small evergreen succulent forming beautiful wide rosettes up to 6 inches (15 cm) . The foliage warms up to pinkish-yellow in hot, dry conditions and turns blue-gray in partial shade.


Common names include Sedum weinbergii, Mother-of-pearl-plant and Ghost plant. The Graptopetalums are generally easy to propagate, by seeds, leaf cuttings or offsets.



Growing From Leaf Cuttings.


Any rosette that breaks off has the potential to root and start a new plant. Even a leaf that drops off will root below the parent plant and produce a new rosette quickly.




Why not try growing these beautiful succulents yourself. We have a selection of succulent cuttings in our online shop
