Pot Size - 7.5cm

Graptopetalum tacitus (bellum) – Pink Star Succulent 🌸🌵

Graptopetalum tacitus, also known as Graptopetalum bellum, is a charming miniature succulent forming tight rosettes of bluish-green, fleshy leaves. In spring and summer, it surprises with bright pink, star-shaped blooms that appear in clusters above the foliage – a striking contrast to its cool-toned leaves.

Key Features:

✔ Compact rosette succulent – ideal for windowsills and dish gardens
✔ Blooms with vivid hot-pink star flowers
✔ Drought tolerant and easy to care for
✔ Works well in shallow pots, rockeries, and succulent arrangements
✔ Slow-growing and naturally symmetrical

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright light to full sun – direct sun brings out compact growth and healthy colour

• Watering: Water when soil is completely dry – avoid letting water sit in the rosette

• Humidity: Thrives in low humidity – avoid misting

• Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus mix

• Feeding: Fertilise sparingly during spring/summer with a low-nitrogen succulent feed

• Temperature: Best between 18–25°C – not frost hardy, protect below 10°C

🌿 Tip: Encourage flowering with bright light and cooler nighttime temperatures in spring.
