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.

Amazing product but star down on price
I desperately needed a healing lip balm for my perpetually chapped and scarred lips, and at first was skeptical that this was nothing but a glorified aquaphor, which works well enough for me but I was curious about better treatments. After some weeks of regular use, my lips feel incredible. I am sold. I only wish two things: that it was a smidgen cheaper, and that there was a version with SPF so I could have one to wear out during the day and have it’s magic working all the time.

Fantastic for rosacea, PD, atopic dermatitis, dry skin
I’ve been using this for close to a year and it is amazing for my super sensitive and dry skin. I have perioral dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea and live in Minnesota with bitter cold and the heater running over half the year. Cicalfate cream doesn’t flare any of these and it helps reduce redness and completely resolves dry skin. I use about a pea size amount AM and PM,, apply to dry skin, massage in, then mist with the Avene thermal water spray. Although the cream is thick, the slight white cast absorbs within a few minutes. I do not wear foundation so I don’t know how this affects it.it doesn’t burn my eyes and I’m a contact lens wearer. A big tube of cream lasts me the better part of a year.

Great for harsh winters
I was recommended this product by ChatGPT as an effective and safe product that my wife (who is currently nursing) can use. We have been very mindful of certain additives and chemicals in our products and this was able to meet our requirements. Separately in the harsh winter in the northeast, this has been extremely effective in protecting the lips

Ruined by Reformulation
New formula update: They ruined this product by reformulating. Used to be so hydrating, long-lasting, and the only thing that gave me relief from eczema. Now it is somehow SO drying, oily, and all around terrible. Judging by reviews here and on their website many customers are unhappy with the change. Done with Avene. Original five star review: This is a great all around lip balm, but if you struggle with perioral dermatitis/eczema then you NEED this. If I'm experiencing a flare, I slather on cicalfate+ at night but I can't exactly walk around with that during the day which is where this lip product comes in. It is calming, hydrating, and long-lasting. I have gone through more tubes than I can count. This was my first time ordering through amazon and I am happy to report I received authentic Avene.
