Graptopetalum Ellen Care

Graptopetalums need excellent drainage and moderate water. You can check your plant for watering readiness by sticking your finger in the soil. If it is dry several inches down or the fleshy leaves are looking shriveled, you should water.

When ghost plants produce new rosette pups, they do so on thick stems that can grow leggy over time. Depending on the look you're aiming for, these leggy offshoots can add to the charm of the plant, or begin to look scraggly. You can prune away the offshoots as they grow too long and replant the pups, share them with friends, or add them to the compost pile.

Fertilize Graptopetalum Ellen every month with an organic fertilizer.

Add coarse grit to soil-less compost and repot every year in late-spring.

Graptopetalum 'Ellen' has pale green leaves and will turn powdery pink to purple when stressed. Although it can tolerate full sun, it requires some shade if the temperature goes over 90° F to prevent sun damage.

Generally non-toxic to humans and animals.
