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.

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.

Shingletown XL Mushroom House.
This stunning XL Mushroom House is built by Fiddlehead, a specialist supplier of fairy houses. You can buy with confidence knowing that your fairy family will be safe and comfortable inside your specially made home. This fairy house is, however, a little bit special, as it's much larger than most fairy houses (around 12" high) and so is perfect for those slightly larger than average fairies. It's designed as a mushroom, with the stalk made from stone effect, and the roof is sturdy shingle tiles.
The whole fairy house is made from resin, so it's impervious to human weather, and the generously sized door opens so humans can see inside. Supplied as part of the home are window boxes which can be planted with real plants. #cute
Price: £43.99 - World Of Miniature
