About
'Titubans' is an intergeneric hybrid in the Crassulaceae between Graptopetalum paraguayense and Echeveria derenbergii. It is said to have been raised in the United States and is also called the porcelain plant. The thick, spoon-shaped leaves are pale blue-green with a waxy bloom and form rosettes about 5-7 cm across at the tips of creeping stems; it offsets freely into dense mats about 20 cm tall. In cool weather the leaf tips turn pink or apricot, and yellow flowers appear in spring. It is fairly tolerant of heat and cold, easy to grow and widely used in mixed plantings. In Japan it is one of the most common intergeneric succulents at garden centres and home stores, sometimes labelled as Echeveria or Graptopetalum.
