Graptopetalum pachyphyllum 'Bluebean'

About Graptopetalum pachyphyllum 'Bluebean'

Graptopetalum pachyphyllum 'Bluebean' is low maintenance and low-growing soft succulent. Blue-green leaves can show shades of pinkish-red on the top when stressed correctly and mass in small rosettes at the tip of each of them.

How to care for Graptopetalum pachyphyllum 'Bluebean'

Sun/Location: Graptopetalum pachyphyllum 'Bluebean' requires 4-5 hours of sunlight to maintain its color. It can be placed outdoors to get full sunlight in the best spring and fall seasons. Shade outdoor succulents in summer or keep them indoors. Graptopetalum pachyphyllum 'Bluebeam' is not hardy and needs protection in winter.

Soil/Pot: Succulents enjoy living in porous, well-draining succulent soil and well-permeable plant pots. To create an adequate cactus mix, add perlite and gritty rocks to regular potting soil to improve drainage. 

Watering: It can’t sit in wet soil and can die quickly if overwatered. In summer, water regularly and let the succulent soil dry out between watering. In spring, with the proper condition, it will bloom with white and green flowers. Click here to check if you are an overwater or underwater succulent.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
