Graptopetalum pentandrum ‘Superbum’ Variegata — plants for sale displayed in 70 mm pots, as shown in images 2 to 5. You will receive the individual plant selected. Please select your preferred option, from drop down menu above 'Add to Cart' button

We currently have two exceptional specimens available. One is an extremely rare form displaying beautifully balanced, even variegation across each leaf. The second is a distinctive streaked and marbled form, featuring soft mottling and irregular patterns that give it its own unique character. While this form is seen slightly more often, it remains highly sought after for its natural variation and visual appeal.

Both plants exhibit reduced chlorophyll, resulting in slower growth and more delicate energy reserves compared to standard succulents. As such, they are best suited to experienced growers familiar with caring for variegated succulents—particularly in managing light, watering, and seasonal stress.

Graptopetalum pentandrum "Superbum" Variegata Description

Graptopetalum pentandrum 'Superbum' Variegata is a remarkable variegated cultivar of the Graptopetalum superbum succulent, native to Mexico and well-suited for Australian regions with minimum winter temperatures from -3.9°C to 10°C.

This slow-growing, highly prized succulent boasts striking variegated leaves in hues of pale green, cream, and pink. The small, thick leaves form rosettes, creating unique patterns that captivate succulent enthusiasts.

The rosettes can reach up to 6 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter, while the entire plant has the potential to grow up to 15 cm tall and spread up to 30 cm wide over time. During the summer, Graptopetalum pentandrum 'Superbum' Variegata produces delicate pink or white star-shaped flowers on tall stalks, further enhancing its already impressive appearance.

To care for this succulent, ensure well-draining soil and bright, indirect light, although it can tolerate some direct sunlight. Prevent overwatering by allowing the soil to dry out entirely between waterings. Propagation is generally straightforward using offsets, or leaf cuttings.

In summary, Graptopetalum pentandrum 'Superbum' Variegata is an attractive  reasonably low-maintenance succulent, making it an excellent choice for adding visual interest to any garden or indoor collection.

Superbum variegata Propagation and Growing Tips

If you wish to propagate these beautiful plants we can tell you that they do propagate from leaves but with very mixed results. Many will revert to the regular Superbum form and you will also get a percentage with extreme variegation, some completely pink which by themselves will not survive due to lack of chlorophyll for photosynthesis. If they have a regular or partially variegated head attached they will grow quite beautifully providing you take the proper care. Out of all the perfectly variegated leaves we have grown, not a single one has produced a perfectly variegated plant. It appears likely that this particular form can only be reproduced vegetatively by cloning the parent plant. It has been pleasing that all the plants we have stem cut, have grown perfectly variegated offshoots which is not normally the case with other plants, though we do have a small sample size,  so this may not always be the case.

Be careful not to take a head cutting too early before the plant is of sufficient size to sustain itself and be sure to do so when plants are actively growing and you have some time up your sleeve to get them well rooted and healthy before winter. Those of you up north will likely find it easier to propagate with the warmer weather. Also be particularly cautious with watering, especially with small plants as they can rot very easily if kept too wet. Better to lose a couple of bottom leaves from under watering than lose the whole plant due to stem rot.

Give them some extra food as well to help them along. We have been using Powerfeed available at Bunnings with great results. Though do be very selective with which plants you use it on, as it can cause extreme vegetative growth and loss of colour on plants that are best grown slow. We mainly only use it on the slower growing highly variegated plants to keep them in top condition. Of course good light, growing medium and pest control should go without saying. Hope this helps you in growing and propagating these much loved plants.

Initially defective poor quality
This item was initially defective and I needed one so I ordered another thinking it was a fluke. Both devices would not turn on. The second one briefly turned on for about 30 seconds and died. The major inconveniences that I can't return it in the normal way. I have to bring it to UPS and there isn't one near my house. I am very disappointed with this item and also with the return policy

Came in skeptical, but it's GREAT!
I read all the bad reviews I could on this thing and considered it an acceptable risk considering the price. Assembly was easy and the instructions were fair. Not amazing, but once you handle the edger, the gist is clear. I was skeptical overall that the horsepower and plastic guard weren't going to be enough. I ran it for nearly 45min stopping every 5 or so to check the blade and guard. It stayed tight and I was able to manually turn the blade to make sure it was working right. My front yard and sidewalk have been neglected for a few years. I would sometimes edge it out with the weed Wacker, but couldn't get it as clean as I wanted without breaking a LOT of line. When I was done, I noticed the guard had a lot of soil and grass buildup that I was able to take out easily with my fingers. There were a few times I scraped the sidewalk edge, but the blade is still solid and ready for more! I was surprised at the quality and as you're going over an area, it feels solid and not squirly or out of control. My uses are going to be mostly suburban maintenance on my own yard. If I had more land or something bigger, I would consider something larger. For my yard and purposes, this edger is going to work just fine! Did not notice any issues with the blade getting loose, but stayed aware of it. There is a lock nut that keeps it in place. I imagine over time and switching blades, this is going to lose its locking function, but I already see amazon has replacement blades that come with new lock nuts!

Works great, easy assembly and no issues!
Using the weedeater for edging was too hard, so I purchased this. It works great! It was easy to assemble and easy to use. My lines are perfect, but the size, durability, and power of this gem get the job done, and it's lightweight enough that I can easily maneuver it around the yard. I chose a corded one so I don't have to deal with battery life or charging.
