Graptopetalum amethystinum 'Lavender Pebbles'
cancel Sold out
Graptopetalum amethystinum 'Lavender Pebbles' presents rounded, pebble-like leaves in soft pastel tones. In Jalisco, the wild species grows on rocky cliffs and slopes, rooting in crevices with sharp drainage and seasonal rainfall. The cultivated form shows a glaucous bloom that reflects shades of lavender, pink and silvery grey.
Rosettes reach about 8–12 cm across on short stems that elongate with age. Leaves are thick and water-storing; the waxy surface marks easily, so handle gently. Plants branch and offset over time, forming clumps that trail attractively from pots or over raised rockwork.
In spring and early summer, wiry stalks carry star-shaped flowers. Petals are pale with fine red speckling, providing a delicate contrast to the pastel foliage. It suits decorative containers and well-lit indoor positions in Australian collections.
Care Tips:
- Light: Bright light to full sun. Indoors, provide several hours of direct sun for best colour.
- Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the mix to dry out completely. Reduce in winter.
- Humidity: Low to moderate humidity with good airflow.
- Media: Gritty, mineral-based mix with excellent drainage; pumice or coarse sand with a lean organic component works well.
- Temperature: Ideally 12–28 °C. Protect from frost; short cool spells are tolerated if kept dry.
- Fertiliser: Dilute, low-nitrogen feed during active growth in spring and summer.
- Repotting: Refresh the mix every 2–3 years or when clumps outgrow the pot.
