Graptopetalum paraguayense, also known as "Powdery Sedum", belongs to the Crassulaceae family and the Graptopetalum genus. The plant originates from the dry regions of Mexico and the U.S. state of Arizona and can endure hot summers with temperatures exceeding 40°C. Graptopetalum paraguayense is an evergreen, climbing subshrub whose main stems and branches often grow prostrate or hang down. The leaves are fleshy, sessile, and grey-blue in color, developing a pinkish hue under strong sunlight. Several leaves form rosettes at the tips of branches, resembling a pinwheel, which is why the plant is also called the "Pinwheel Plant". From April to May, small flowers appear, approximately 1.5 cm in diameter. The flowers are milky white, with five split petals marked by radially arranged purple-red spots. There are ten stamens arranged in two rows with bright red anthers, and five pink free-standing carpels in the center, creating a sparkling effect, almost like shining stars. Please note that the pot has a small chip and a crack, which do not affect its usability. See the final image for details. Therefore, the price of this product has been reduced. Care and Cultivation of Graptopetalum paraguayense: Propagation: The plant is typically propagated through cuttings. During the growing season, cuttings can be taken while pruning and used for propagation at the same time. Alternatively, individual leaves can be removed and placed flat on moist, sandy soil. After about two weeks, roots and shoots will form at the base of the leaves. When using leaf propagation, the substrate should not be too moist to avoid rotting. Care Tips: This plant is known for its attractive form and beautiful flowers. It is easy to care for and rarely affected by pests or diseases, making it ideal for home gardening. It thrives in pots or glass containers and can be placed decoratively on sunny windowsills or desks. It also does well in hanging baskets where its trailing nature is showcased, or as part of garden beds and planter boxes. Thanks to its heat resistance, drought tolerance, and winter hardiness, it can also be grown outdoors in sheltered, sunny corners or in balcony planters. To prevent waterlogging during rainy seasons outdoors, use containers with drainage holes and consider elevated, tiered planting methods for better drainage and visual appeal. Growing Conditions: Graptopetalum paraguayense prefers full sun and dry conditions. Waterlogging should be avoided, as the plant tolerates both cold and drought but cannot handle wet soil. A well-drained, sandy soil is ideal. When there is insufficient light, the stems elongate, and the leaves become smaller and sparser, reducing the plant’s decorative effect. During the spring and summer growing seasons, the plant should be watered once or twice per week. In autumn and winter, the watering frequency depends on temperature: if above 15°C, watering every two weeks is sufficient; if below 0°C, keep the soil dry and stop watering altogether. During hot summers, protect the plant from direct midday sun and from rain to prevent leaf drop or yellowing.
