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.

Terrible product
I have bought other sequin jackets from this brand that I absolutely LOVE ! The colors on all of them have always been a little off from the pictures but in a good way, they are more subtle beautiful hues and expensive designer looking. This jacket however is total trash! The colors are bright and obnoxious unlike the picture, and the quality is HORRIBLE! The fabric is so thin and stiff you can’t move at all in it, it feels like you’re trying to wear a cardboard jacket covered in cheap glitter that was glued on. I ordered the exact same size as the previous ones I’ve bought and this one I can’t even get the button to come close to closing, the sizing is very off and runs extremely small, while my other ones I have still fit perfectly so it isn’t me that has changed size.So disappointed because of how much I love my other ones, I really wanted to love this one too.

Beautiful jacket and well made but these sizes are WAY OFF
I've worn a 42 for decades so I ordered the US 42. It is at least four sizes too small and the sleeves are an awkward two inches too long. Not sure why the sizing is such a problem. The jacket is well made and is beautiful and would have loved to have kept it. But if the manufacturer is making truly odd sizes, I will look elsewhere. Even if these may be Asian sizes, why would the sleeves be so long?

Beautiful
The jacket is amazing. It is definitely bright and shiny. It does run small. I ordered a 3XL and it was super snug.

Perfect! Buy your normal size.
Size: X-Large, Color: Green -Jacket
I AM BLOWN AWAY! I ordered this and a shirt less than 12 hours ago and they arrived this morning. I was worried because I've never ordered anything that I didn't have to go up 3 sizes but I read the reviews and it seemed like they have finally figured it out! The jacket is amazing and fit like I had it tailor-made. All of the advertising says "slim fit", which I AM NOT. I ordered an XL and I have 44 & 46reg suit jackets. This is the best of the nearly 2500 purchases I have made from Amazon! This brand just needs to shuffle the letters in their name to be I M A G I N E!
