Highlights
Graptoveria 'Opalina' (Echeveria colorata × Graptopetalum amethystinum) (Grim): An opalescent rosette and wonderfully low-maintenance. Keep it in partial sun and it will be a powdery blue-green with a nice covering of farina. Move it into sunnier conditions and it will flush pink at the edges. Its distinctive leaves stay fairly upright and can grow into an 8.0" wide rosette.
'Opalina' is a relatively fast grower and will produce clusters of offsets at the base of the mother rosette. It thrives in sunny locations and pots and soil with excellent drainage. Water deeply and only when the soil is completely dry.
Over time, it can grow trailing, bare stems up to 8.0" under each rosette. Fortunately, 'Opalina' is easy to propagate and will stay compact with a quick trim. With a sharp, clean pair of scissors, cut a stem just below the rosette. Leave the rosette in a cool, dry place for 3-5 day so the cut can dry and callus. Re-plant the rosette in gritty soil and water regularly until it established roots.
