Graptopetalum Glassii
Graptopetalum 'Glassii'
As per ICN: GLASSII Acevedo-Rosas & Cházaro, 2003 Synonym : Graptopetalum sotoi Distribution : Known only from the type locality : Colima, Municipio de Ixtlahuacán, at an elevation of 410 m, where the plant occurs in tropical deciduous forest, growing on gypsum hill slopes. Description : Perennial plants, caespitose, forming compact clusters. Stems mostly decumbent, to 5.5 cm long, caespitosely branching. Rosettes 30 – 30 (-40) mm in diameter, with 30 – 40 (-50) crowded leaves. Leaves whitish-green to pale bluish-green to yellowish-green, glabrous, slightly glaucous, 13 – 16 (-20) x 8 – 12 mm, ca. 2.5 mm thick, inner surface slightly concave, outer surface convex, oblanceolate, apex acute. Inflorescence a compound cyme 6 – 12 cm high, unbranched or with 1 or 2 (3) simple or bifurcate branches (inflorescences of plants in cultivation are much more branched). Flowers 5 (rarely 6) merous, sepals greyish-green, corolla 12 – 14 mm in diameter, petals 3.5 mm wide near the base, triangular-lanceolate, acute, united for 2.5 mm, yellowish white, marked with red, flecks and partial banding towards the tips, the tips nearly solid red, stamen 5. Flowers produce a disagreeable fetid odor. The name honors Charles Glass, curator of plants for Cante

Planting
From Early Spring TO Early Spring
They can be propagated easily by separating offsets, but also by leaf cuttings, and by seed if they are not hybrids. Succulents need a warm, sunny well-drained position to develop their foliage colour. Most succulents will be grown in containers and pots and they will need good drainage. Add coarse grit to soil-less compost and repot every year in late-spring. Don't worry about damaging the roots when re-potting: these plants tolerate disturbance well.
Flowering
From Early Spring TO Late Summer
Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured leaves. Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may flower and set seed many times over the course of their lifetimes
