Graptoveria Debbie
Beginner×Graptoveria 'Debbie'
A beautiful intergeneric hybrid with pale purple rosette. Easy to grow, especially beautiful pink-purple when stressed.
About
Graptoveria 'Debie' is one of the most popular intergeneric hybrids between Graptopetalum and Echeveria, producing substantial rosettes of soft lavender-purple leaves that flush to vivid pink and magenta when subjected to cool temperatures or strong sunlight—a color shift prized by succulent enthusiasts as 'stress coloring'. Rosettes mature to 10–15 cm across with a well-defined, symmetrical form. Inheriting Graptopetalum's hardiness, 'Debie' is more forgiving than most Echeveria and tolerates minor lapses in care. Full sun or very bright light is recommended for optimal coloration. Watering should be conservative, with the substrate dried between sessions. Propagation by leaf cuttings or stem cuttings is easy and reliable.
