Watering: Graptopetalum Bellum requires moderate watering. It is crucial to allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. During winter, reduce watering to a minimum as the plant enters a dormant period.
Lighting: Prefers bright but indirect light. Although it can tolerate some direct sun, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to strong sun as it can burn the leaves.

Cold hardiness: Graptopetalum Bellum is sensitive to extreme cold and should be protected from temperatures falling below 5°C. In regions with cold winters, it is recommended to grow it indoors or in a greenhouse during the colder months.
Substrate: A well-drained substrate is recommended, ideally a succulent mix containing coarse sand or gravel. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Harvest: Graptopetalum Bellum is primarily grown for its ornamental value. Enjoy its compact form, vibrant blooms, and low maintenance properties in succulent collections, miniature gardens, or as a houseplant.
