Graptoveria 'Purple Dream' is a hybrid succulent that is gaining popularity among plant enthusiasts for its stunning colours and easy care requirements. This small plant has a clustering habit, producing many offsets from its base as it matures. Its rosettes typically reach around 6cm in diameter when grown in good light and not overfed.
One of the most striking features of this plant is its foliage. Its leaves range in colour from green to blue, pink, red and purple and even dusty white due to its beautiful powdery farina. When grown slowly and given infrequent watering, its leaves take on a beautiful aquamarine blue to deep purple with pink to red leaf tips and margins. The plant's colours will vary depending on the amount of light, nutrients, water, and seasonal changes due to cold and heat.
When this plant takes on its purple colour, it is deepest on the leaf margins, but the whole leaf takes on a purple glow, producing a surreal effect that justifies its name, Purple Dream. It will also produce cream to apricot coloured flowers on long stems, which add to its visual appeal.
Graptoveria 'Purple Dream' is a relatively low-maintenance plant that is happy in either a full sun or part shade position. It handles drought conditions very well, so it's important not to overwater it. Water it well when the soil is dry, and it will thrive.
It is advantageous to grow this plant slowly with infrequent watering and depriving it of nutrients to really make the colours pop and keep it small and compact. It is not one to overfeed or overwater, or it will lose its beautiful shape and colour.
While the parentage of Graptoveria 'Purple Dream' is unknown, it is a fairly new hybrid of Graptopetalum and Echeveria. It has a beautiful mix of colours that make it stand out in any succulent collection.
In conclusion, Graptoveria 'Purple Dream' is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a low-maintenance, visually stunning succulent. Its unique colours and easy care requirements make it a great addition to any garden or indoor space.
