Graptoveria 'Jadeíta'
Parentage : Graptopetalum macdougallii x Echeveria spec. This plant usually is considered to be Graptopetalum macdougallii. Indeed, producing offsets on long stolons, it shows the characteristic feature of this species; also the red markings on the inside of the petals are more or less similar. However the rosette does not correspond either in colour, leaf shape or size. G. macdougallii is a rather small plant with leaves 2.5 - 3.5 cm long, while this rosette is up to 12 cm in diameter. A side view of a flower shows that the petals are not spreading horizontally as is characteristic for Graptopetalumflowers but are rather ascending. This indicates that the plant in question is not the species but a hybrid of G. macdougallii. The chromosome number of the latter is extremely high, that means it is very dominant in a crossing. Therefore it is impossible to identify the other parent precisely. Most likely it is an Echeveria species with fairly big and green leaves. Graptoveria are hybrid crosses between Graptopetalum and Echeveria. Due to this mixed parentage they form a diverse genus, but most are low growing, cultivated for their beautiful shapes and colours. They produce stemless, clump-forming rosettes with thick leaves. Graptoveria need good drainage. Tender soft succulent - will not tolerate frost.

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
