Graptopetalum 'Purple Delight'

About Graptopetalum ‘Purple Delight’

Graptopetalum ‘Purple Delight’, also known as 'Snow White', produces stemless, clump-forming rosettes with plump leaves covered with farina. These leaves can margin color from lavender-gray to frosty-white under stress.

How to care for Graptopetalum ‘Purple Delight’

Sun/Location: Like other soft succulents, Graptopetalum ‘Purple Delight’ can't survive outdoors in cold winter. The succulent variety prefer full sunlight to form their best colors and shapes. Bring them indoors and place them by the window to get as much sunlight as possible or under a grow light in summer and winter. It can be placed outdoors in spring and fall to get full sunlight.

Soil/Pot: To ensure the health of indoor succulents, they need porous, well-draining soil to live in. To create an adequate cactus mix, add pumice, perlite, or grit to cactus soil to provide the proper drainage. Choose small planters with drainage holes for your mini succulents, which will encourage healthy succulents growth.

Watering: Graptopetalum succulents require little watering but don't like to sit in wet soil. The best way of watering is the 'soak and dry' method. Water thoroughly when the soil is dry. Keep the environment ventilated after watering to avoid rot and mold growth.

We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package.

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!!!
