Graptopetalum pachyphyllum - Bluebean [large]

Highlights

Bluebean (Graptopetalum pachyphyllum) (Rose): Adorable succulent of tiny, powdery, bean shaped leaves pressed into tight clusters. This plant is a rare treat with stunning blue tones. Given time, it'll form a clump of offsets that stick close to the ground. Once mature, it blooms with orange flowers and crimson flakes. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.

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 well-draining cactus and succulent soil 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 Succulent Cuttings Guide for tips on succulent propagation.
