Graptopetalum Alexander

Graptopetalum ‘Alexander’

Graptopetalum ‘Alexander’ is a beautiful, rosette-forming succulent with fleshy, spoon-shaped leaves in shades of silvery green to soft lavender. When exposed to bright sunlight or cooler temperatures, the leaves may develop a subtle pinkish tint. Its pastel hues and powdery coating (farina) give it a soft, velvety appearance, making it a popular choice for succulent arrangements and collections.

Care Tips:

Light: Prefers bright light to full sun. Increased sunlight enhances its color and compact form.

Water: Water thoroughly but infrequently. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Good drainage is essential.

Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 59°F to 86°F (15°C to 30°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected in colder climates.

Propagation: Propagates easily from leaf or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous before placing them in soil.

Uses: Ideal for containers, windowsills, succulent gardens, and mixed arrangements. Its soft coloring and geometric rosettes add elegance to any space.
