This succulent likes to be fully saturated and then go totally dry before its next watering. Each leaf is a little water tank that stores water for the plant. If you see leaves shriveling, your plant is thirsty. If drought persists the plant will use up the water in its lowest leaves and shed them. Watering when the soil has residual moisture increases the risk of root rot. Remember your watering schedule will depend on the size of the pot (smaller pots needing more frequent watering) and environmental factors such as the season, weather, humidity and exposure. Don't leave succulents in standing water, such as a saucer, for more than a day. | |

This plant is best grown with very sharp drainage in a pot or rockery and is inclined to rot if planted in typical garden soil.
Closer to the coast, the more sun it tolerates.
Interés especial
The genus Graptopetalum originates from Greek. Graptos means 'written' and petalon mean 'petal'. This refers to the unusual markings on flowers common to this genus.
This species grows in partial shade at moderate altitudes (1900 ft to 5000 ft above sea level) in the Pinaleno, Santa Teresa, Santa Catalina, Rincon, and Waterman Mountains of Arizona and in several mountain ranges in Sonora, Mexico.
