Description
Graptopetalum mendozae is a fantastic, spreading succulent up to 6 inches (15 cm) tall, with rosettes of pale grey leaves that take on darker colors in summer light levels. The flowers are small, star-shaped and white in color.
Environment
The rules for Graptopetalums care are similar to those for most succulents. Container-bound plants thrive in a mixture of peat, sand or other grit, topsoil and a little bit of compost. Full sun is the best situation but they will also grow in partial sun with slightly rangy results.
Graptopetalums need excellent drainage and moderate water. You can tell when to water by sticking your finger in the soil. If it is dry several inches down or the fleshy leaves are looking shriveled, you should water. Over watering is a cause of root rots and the plant can get several pest infestations.
Landscape Use
Suitable for Container, Rock Garden & Xeriscaping
