Graptoveria Blue Mist
Place the plant ideally in a sunny location.
Always water a few days after the substrate has dried out. Reduce watering in winter.
It can tolerate -1.1 °C in the short term. However, the plant is not hardy.
The unusual brownish-red colour is best when the succulent is placed outdoors in direct sunlight. The whitish, waxy coating also becomes more distinctive in sunlight.
Graptoveria Blue Mist, also known as ×Graptoveria Royal Flush, is an intergeneric hybrid created by Charles Uhl that began spreading to the world in 1981. It was created by a cross between Graptopetalum amethystinum and Echeveria affinis. It resembles Sedeveria Blue Mist in appearance, but there are slight differences.
The succulent forms a compact and usually solitary rosette of fleshy leaves. These turn brownish-red to purplish-brown in colour. Leaf colour increases with reduced watering, cooler temperatures and exposure to direct light. There is also a fine waxy coating on the leaves which forms interesting patterns.
During late spring and early summer, bell-shaped flowers appear on the plant. They are yellow in colour and have red patterns on multi-branched stems with several bracts.
The plant prefers not to be fertilized. A relatively small succulent, it is a delight with its striking colouring, which is best displayed when placed in full sun. Among other succulents, Graptoveria Blue Mist literally shines with its colouring and waxy patterns on the leaves.
