Introducing the Graptopetalum superbum, also known as the superbum succulent, which is a vibrant member of the five-stamen Graptopetalum genus.

Native to Mexico, it is commonly found in rocky areas, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and landscape designs. 


The Graptopetalum superbum succulent goes by several common names, including Superb Graptopetalum, Beautiful Graptopetalum, Graptopetalum pentandrum superbum, and Ghost Plant. These names are derived from its remarkable features and ghostly, pale coloration.

A lovely blush to-lavender rosette that, like its Latin name, is quite incredible. The leaves are covered in a powdered layer of farina, or epicuticular wax.

The superbum succulent forms compact rosettes that can grow up 25 inches wide, with the leaves tightly packed together, creating a visually appealing arrangement. 

The flowers of Graptopetalum superbum, bloom in late winter to early spring, with star-shaped yellowish-white petals and dark red markings.

These clusters of star-shaped flowers add a touch of beauty to the already captivating plant.

As the plant matures, it may produce offsets, also known as "pups," which can be separated and propagated to grow new plants.

Watering Needs

The Graptopetalum superbum plant can withstand droughts and doesn't need to be watered frequently to survive. In reality, these succulents are acutely susceptible to overwatering and are vulnerable to root rot if overly wet. Between waterings, let the soil completely dry out, and if in doubt, give it a little more time before watering again.

Remember that succulents in the desert can go for weeks or even months without water, so water them sparingly during their rest phase and moderately during their active growing season.

Light Requirements 

When grown indoors, it should be placed in the sunniest spot in your home in order to receive the six to eight hours of direct sunlight that it needs each day. This usually means placing the pencil cactus in a south or west-facing window or using a grow light to provide supplemental light.

outdoors, like most succulents, this five-stamens Graptopetalum superbum succulent needs full sun to partial shade to thrive, so choose the brightest area in the house. Keep in mind that during winter you should move them to a place with partial sunlight.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Graptopetalum superbum succulent favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Graptopetalum succulent to thrive.

When it comes to fertilizing your succulent plant, balanced NPK fertilizers are the best choice as they last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your succulent some love once a year in the spring with a good natural fertilizer!

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the Graptopetalum superbum prefers a warm and dry environment. It thrives in average room temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F. It's important to avoid exposing the plant to extreme temperature fluctuations or drafts, as they can cause stress and damage to the Graptopetalum plant.

For outdoor requirements, the Graptopetalum superbum is known to be quite hardy and can tolerate a range of temperatures. It is generally suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11. It can withstand light frost for a short period of time. It performs well in temperatures above 25 °F - 50 °F. Prolonged freezing temperatures can harm plants, so it's advisable to provide protection or bring them indoors during colder months in colder zones.

Growing these succulents indoors is the best option if you live in an area with harsh winters. This way, you can bring them inside during the winter or when there is a chance of frost or snow. Normal house humidity is fine for this Graptopetalum, but it prefers drier conditions.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Graptopetalum superbum is a popular succulent plant in rock gardens with unique features. It has thick, fleshy leaves arranged in rosettes, which can range in color from pale blue-green to pinkish-purple. These rosettes create a beautiful and eye-catching display. When it comes to care, the Graptopetalum superbum is relatively low-maintenance. It thrives in well-draining soil, with minimal watering. This plant also enjoys bright sunlight, so placing it in a sunny spot, either indoors or outdoors, will help it thrive.

By providing your succulent plants with the proper conditions, you'll have a beautiful and unique Graptopetalum plant that will thrive for years to come.

Wonderful sunscreen, but pricey
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
I love this sunscreen. I use it as a daily moisturizer for my face and hands. After I gently rub it on, my skin looks more supple without any greasy residue. I've been using it for years, and I'm told that I look younger than my age (68). And not just from those who are looking to complement me, but from my new dermatologist. The only reason I'm giving it 4 stars is that its current price is out of my league. But for those who can afford it, EltaMD is a winner.

The best sunscreen I’ve ever tried!
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
Disclaimer: I have used many different sunscreens and brands without finding anything I really liked. First time using Elta MD UV clear sunscreen and I am in love with it. I have very sensitive skin with rosacea and avoid chemical sunscreens because they burn my skin. The moment I put on this sunscreen it was creamy and unscented. It really absorbed into my skin and left no greasy residue. A few minutes after applying I was able to touch my face with no residue or product coming off on my hand. I do find this product a tad expensive but I feel that it is worth the price and it will be my go to sunscreen.

Impressed!
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
Just got back from a week in Florida at Disney World and this sunscreen was fantastic. I have spent hours researching different products, reading reviews and trying different things and decided to try this on my mature, acne prone skin. I applied it in the morning before leaving the hotel and once more in the middle of the day and it protected my skin from the extreme heat and sun and did not cause any breakouts. It did not run and does not cause a white cast. I would highly recommend this product!

A Daily Essential – Lightweight & Fast-Absorbing
Color: 02 - Untinted (1.7 oz)
I've made this my go-to sunscreen and use it every single day. What sets it apart is the texture – it's smooth and applies beautifully without any sticky residue, which is a game-changer for daily wear under makeup or on its own. The absorption is impressively fast. I can apply it in the morning and not feel like I'm waiting around for it to dry down. It sinks in quickly and leaves my skin feeling clean and protected, not weighed down. For sensitive skin, this is exactly what I needed. This is a must-have in my routine. Highly recommend if you're looking for a lightweight, non-sticky sunscreen that actually works.

Good price
Size: 50 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Scent: Gentle & Mild
Most Amazon basics items are of decent quality and this is no exception. Nothing fancy just a decent hand soap with typical viscosity that will work in just about any dispenser including automatic dispensers. Most importantly it does a good job cleaning the hands without leaving your hands all sticky and gooey after washing. Yeah. That really is a thing. I've used hand soaps that after rinsing and drying your left with "gheco hands" like you can pick up a penny with your knuckle. No chemical or overpowering odor. One odd thing. The original order came in a box that looked like the Amazon loader threw it into the back of the van from about 50 feet away .... The bottles cap was destroyed and the soap had leaked into the box. Amazon quickly replaced the item with a new bottle no charge and didn't expect me to return the damaged bottle of course. Thing is the second box came in the same condition. Looked like the punter for the Ravens drop kicked it from the 30 into the back of the truck. Luckily the bottle was undamaged this time.
