Yellow flowers with red stamens appear from late-winter to spring. It’s ideal for growing as a houseplant but may also be raised outside in warmer regions.

Grow Graptopetalum pentandrum superbum in well-drained, gritty soil or a container of cactus compost, in full sun. Water regularly in summer but allow soil to completely dry out in winter. Propagate by leaf cuttings or offsets. Hardy to -3°C.
