Introducing the Graptopetalum superbum, also known as the superbum succulent, which is a vibrant member of the five-stamen Graptopetalum genus.

Native to Mexico, it is commonly found in rocky areas, making it a popular choice for rock gardens and landscape designs. 


The Graptopetalum superbum succulent goes by several common names, including Superb Graptopetalum, Beautiful Graptopetalum, Graptopetalum pentandrum superbum, and Ghost Plant. These names are derived from its remarkable features and ghostly, pale coloration.

A lovely blush to-lavender rosette that, like its Latin name, is quite incredible. The leaves are covered in a powdered layer of farina, or epicuticular wax.

The superbum succulent forms compact rosettes that can grow up 25 inches wide, with the leaves tightly packed together, creating a visually appealing arrangement. 

The flowers of Graptopetalum superbum, bloom in late winter to early spring, with star-shaped yellowish-white petals and dark red markings.

These clusters of star-shaped flowers add a touch of beauty to the already captivating plant.

As the plant matures, it may produce offsets, also known as "pups," which can be separated and propagated to grow new plants.

Watering Needs

The Graptopetalum superbum plant can withstand droughts and doesn't need to be watered frequently to survive. In reality, these succulents are acutely susceptible to overwatering and are vulnerable to root rot if overly wet. Between waterings, let the soil completely dry out, and if in doubt, give it a little more time before watering again.

Remember that succulents in the desert can go for weeks or even months without water, so water them sparingly during their rest phase and moderately during their active growing season.

Light Requirements 

When grown indoors, it should be placed in the sunniest spot in your home in order to receive the six to eight hours of direct sunlight that it needs each day. This usually means placing the pencil cactus in a south or west-facing window or using a grow light to provide supplemental light.

outdoors, like most succulents, this five-stamens Graptopetalum superbum succulent needs full sun to partial shade to thrive, so choose the brightest area in the house. Keep in mind that during winter you should move them to a place with partial sunlight.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Graptopetalum superbum succulent favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Graptopetalum succulent to thrive.

When it comes to fertilizing your succulent plant, balanced NPK fertilizers are the best choice as they last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your succulent some love once a year in the spring with a good natural fertilizer!

Hardiness Zones & More 

When growing indoors, the Graptopetalum superbum prefers a warm and dry environment. It thrives in average room temperatures ranging from 65°F to 75°F. It's important to avoid exposing the plant to extreme temperature fluctuations or drafts, as they can cause stress and damage to the Graptopetalum plant.

For outdoor requirements, the Graptopetalum superbum is known to be quite hardy and can tolerate a range of temperatures. It is generally suitable for USDA hardiness zones 9 to 11. It can withstand light frost for a short period of time. It performs well in temperatures above 25 °F - 50 °F. Prolonged freezing temperatures can harm plants, so it's advisable to provide protection or bring them indoors during colder months in colder zones.

Growing these succulents indoors is the best option if you live in an area with harsh winters. This way, you can bring them inside during the winter or when there is a chance of frost or snow. Normal house humidity is fine for this Graptopetalum, but it prefers drier conditions.

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Graptopetalum superbum is a popular succulent plant in rock gardens with unique features. It has thick, fleshy leaves arranged in rosettes, which can range in color from pale blue-green to pinkish-purple. These rosettes create a beautiful and eye-catching display. When it comes to care, the Graptopetalum superbum is relatively low-maintenance. It thrives in well-draining soil, with minimal watering. This plant also enjoys bright sunlight, so placing it in a sunny spot, either indoors or outdoors, will help it thrive.

By providing your succulent plants with the proper conditions, you'll have a beautiful and unique Graptopetalum plant that will thrive for years to come.

Solid without using the adhesive
Style: Google TV Streamer Mount
My have a weathered wood feature wall, and the adhesive didn't work well. However, it screwed into place just fine. Happy with it.

Perfect seamless mount!
Style: Google TV Streamer Mount
This little mount is awesome. I recently upgraded from a Chromecast to a Google TV and I wanted it to be hidden just like the small Chromecast, so I bought this mount. With the included double sided sticker mount, I mounted it right behind my TV. The Google TV is safely in there and perfectly hidden.

These do work!
Keep in mind that sometimes the CS reps at T-Mobile get the numbers you've read to them over the phone wrong, those are the only instances in which they told me the card isn't working where did you get them? From Amazon I always reply telling them I've been buying them for years with no issues because you can't find these cards anywhere anymore but on Amazon or from T-Mobile, Walmart no longer carries anything but whatever brands of phones they're selling. So, don't listen to the reviews telling you these aren't valid cards because they are indeed valid cards, have T-Mobile read the numbers back to you if needed, my call to them recently had no questions about where I got the cards, both went through just fine. T-Mobile reps are finally realizing you can buy these elsewhere. The expire dates at least 2 yrs out so no worries there. I recommend these cards without any hesitation!

Peace and quiet finally...
Ah, ‘tis the season—baby momma's calling, the rug rats need gifts, and I’m seriously considering changing my number. But for now, I’ll settle for these T-Mobile SIM cards. Why? Because nothing says “please stop asking for more” like a new phone number. Yep, two of them. Perfect for prepaid plans, postpaid plans, or just plans to avoid commitment—kind of like me. The **"triple-cut" design** is the real MVP here, because whether they need Nano, Micro, or Standard, these cards can handle it. Compatibility with **3G, 4G, and LTE** means it’s versatile enough for any device, as long as it’s GSM. But heads up: these SIMs are unactivated. Translation? You’re on your own when it comes to setting them up. No annual contract, though—because who wants a long-term commitment these days? Not me. So, if you need to keep the peace with minimal effort or just want to gift-wrap some “DIY connectivity,” these SIM cards get the job done. But seriously, I need to start screening calls.

Sketchy
I bought this 2 pack and activated it for use in a remote device, not a cell phone. Activating it on the phone with T-Moble is easy enough. You will need to tell them the devices IMEI number, the zip code where service will be used, and the SIM Card Number printed on the SIM card. They charge a $5 activation fee along with the first month's payment for whatever data plan you choose. The minimum you could choose is a 2GB/month plan for $10/month with automatic activation. (I wish I had read the details on the product more closely. I made the mistake of seeing some value in "pre-paid". There is NOTHING PRE-PAID about this card. Plus the customer service seems a bit sketchy. On my first call I didn't have the IMEI device number. When I explained that I'd have to call back, the tech tried several different ways to press me for the SIM card number and other details to speed up the process when I called in again. That seemed odd since he wasn't able to create an account for me in the system without all of the information and the $5 activation fee. So, despite being a catch-22 he kept trying to get the SIM card number.
