Graptopetalum Mendozae

Graptopetalum mendozae is a charming, compact succulent known for its small, rosette-forming leaves and trailing growth habit. Native to Mexico, this variety displays tight rosettes of plump, rounded leaves that range in colour from pale green to soft pinkish-lilac depending on sun exposure and temperature.

It is especially popular in arrangements, hanging pots, or rock gardens due to its spreading nature and subtle, pastel colours. In spring or early summer, it produces small white star-shaped flowers with red markings, adding a delicate ornamental touch.
