Description
Graptoveria ‘Debbie’ is a hybrid succulent resulting from the cross between Graptopetalum paraguayense (Ghost Plant) and Echeveria. It forms tight rosettes of fleshy, thick leaves that are pale blue, pink, and lavender in color, creating a soft, pastel effect. As the plant matures, it produces small, star-shaped flowers in a pale yellow shade. This easy-to-care-for succulent thrives in bright, indirect light and requires minimal watering, making it an ideal choice for beginners and succulent enthusiasts.

Growth Habit:
- Grows in compact rosettes up to 6 inches in diameter.
- Slow-growing but can spread over time.

Watering Instructions:
- Water deeply but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
- Reduce watering in winter when the plant enters dormancy.
Soil Needs:
- Prefers well-draining cactus or succulent soil mix.
