Graptopetalum are succulent plants from the crassulaceae family. They are native to the Americas, and grow in habitat from Arizona to Mexico. There are only around 19 species in the genus, though there are also a number of hybrids.   

They grow in many forms from small to mid sized rosettes, on thick or thin stems, glossy or heavily farinered rosettes. Graptopetalum are well suited to hanging baskets as they mature, due to their habit of growing rosettes on long stems that eventually flop over.
