Graptoveria 'Bashful'

Graptoveria 'Bashful' (O'Connell): Graptopetalum x Echeveria hybrid with fleshy, upright leaves. Pretty mint green rosette blushed with pink to red leaf tips. Cool temperatures (around 50F) and bright sun bring out its most vibrant red blushing. Come spring, it produces small white to pale yellow flowers on a tall bloom stalk.

Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need bright sunlight, great drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.

This variety is easy to re-root from stem cuttings. Look to our for tips on succulent propagation.
