Graptopetalum pentandrum ‘Superbum’ Variegata — plants for sale displayed in 70 mm pots, as shown in images 2 to 5. You will receive the individual plant selected. Please select your preferred option, from drop down menu above 'Add to Cart' button

We currently have two exceptional specimens available. One is an extremely rare form displaying beautifully balanced, even variegation across each leaf. The second is a distinctive streaked and marbled form, featuring soft mottling and irregular patterns that give it its own unique character. While this form is seen slightly more often, it remains highly sought after for its natural variation and visual appeal.

Both plants exhibit reduced chlorophyll, resulting in slower growth and more delicate energy reserves compared to standard succulents. As such, they are best suited to experienced growers familiar with caring for variegated succulents—particularly in managing light, watering, and seasonal stress.

Graptopetalum pentandrum "Superbum" Variegata Description

Graptopetalum pentandrum 'Superbum' Variegata is a remarkable variegated cultivar of the Graptopetalum superbum succulent, native to Mexico and well-suited for Australian regions with minimum winter temperatures from -3.9°C to 10°C.

This slow-growing, highly prized succulent boasts striking variegated leaves in hues of pale green, cream, and pink. The small, thick leaves form rosettes, creating unique patterns that captivate succulent enthusiasts.

The rosettes can reach up to 6 cm in height and 12 cm in diameter, while the entire plant has the potential to grow up to 15 cm tall and spread up to 30 cm wide over time. During the summer, Graptopetalum pentandrum 'Superbum' Variegata produces delicate pink or white star-shaped flowers on tall stalks, further enhancing its already impressive appearance.

To care for this succulent, ensure well-draining soil and bright, indirect light, although it can tolerate some direct sunlight. Prevent overwatering by allowing the soil to dry out entirely between waterings. Propagation is generally straightforward using offsets, or leaf cuttings.

In summary, Graptopetalum pentandrum 'Superbum' Variegata is an attractive  reasonably low-maintenance succulent, making it an excellent choice for adding visual interest to any garden or indoor collection.

Superbum variegata Propagation and Growing Tips

If you wish to propagate these beautiful plants we can tell you that they do propagate from leaves but with very mixed results. Many will revert to the regular Superbum form and you will also get a percentage with extreme variegation, some completely pink which by themselves will not survive due to lack of chlorophyll for photosynthesis. If they have a regular or partially variegated head attached they will grow quite beautifully providing you take the proper care. Out of all the perfectly variegated leaves we have grown, not a single one has produced a perfectly variegated plant. It appears likely that this particular form can only be reproduced vegetatively by cloning the parent plant. It has been pleasing that all the plants we have stem cut, have grown perfectly variegated offshoots which is not normally the case with other plants, though we do have a small sample size,  so this may not always be the case.

Be careful not to take a head cutting too early before the plant is of sufficient size to sustain itself and be sure to do so when plants are actively growing and you have some time up your sleeve to get them well rooted and healthy before winter. Those of you up north will likely find it easier to propagate with the warmer weather. Also be particularly cautious with watering, especially with small plants as they can rot very easily if kept too wet. Better to lose a couple of bottom leaves from under watering than lose the whole plant due to stem rot.

Give them some extra food as well to help them along. We have been using Powerfeed available at Bunnings with great results. Though do be very selective with which plants you use it on, as it can cause extreme vegetative growth and loss of colour on plants that are best grown slow. We mainly only use it on the slower growing highly variegated plants to keep them in top condition. Of course good light, growing medium and pest control should go without saying. Hope this helps you in growing and propagating these much loved plants.

Great pillow, but the cooling effect depends on the cover
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: King(Pack of 2)
I really like this pillow overall. It’s comfortable, supportive, and feels well made. When you use it without a pillowcase, it definitely feels cool to the touch and does what it claims in terms of that initial cooling sensation. However, once you put a pillowcase on it, you can’t really feel the cooling effect anymore. I’ve tried multiple different pillowcases made from different materials, and none of them really let that cool feeling come through. That said, I still love the pillow itself. It’s comfortable and supportive enough that I’m keeping it. Just keep in mind that the cooling feature works best without a cover, which isn’t ideal for everyone. Overall, a good pillow — just manage expectations about the cooling effect once it’s covered.

Best Pillow Ever
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: Queen(Pack of 2)
Best pillow ever. Although it still gets "hot", it does take longer to get "hot". I love this pillow. I was buying a new pillow almost every 3 months. Other pillows would either remain rock hard or go flat. I was concerned at first when reading the description as I though the memory foam would be big pieces. They are soft fluffy pieces. I had to remove almost half of the foam to get the pillow to what works for me. I have not had to put any filler back in. Maybe in a couple of more months I may have to put a bit more in, but it is holding it's shape and not going flat. I do fluff it every night. This helps. I am a stomach sleeper. I have bought the expensive purple pillow and hated it so much I gave it to my daughter. This QUTOOL Pillow is the best! I bought a 2 pack. Have not used the other pillow yet, but I feel I may actually go years for once without having to buy a pillow as I have the 2nd one set aside if the first one gets to a point in need replacement. I have bought Dollar Store pillows. I have bought $300 pillows. None of them even come close to this pillow and the way you can adjust this pillow for you. The pillows came in a white mesh like bag. I keep all the unused "stuffing" in this bag. I have it hanging in my closet and I just fluff the bag once a month to keep the filling fresh so it is ready if and when I need it. Coming from someone who has trouble staying asleep, neck issues, a stomach sleeper who hate those flat pillows manufacturers think stomach sleepers like but actually hate, buy this pillow. Just buy it. Best Pillow for a picky person like me. Buy 2 or more so if you have to stay at a hotel, you can take your own pillow.

Foam Mattress NEEDs Foam Pillows
Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: King(Pack of 2), Color: Blue-ice Plus, Size: King(Pack of 2)
10 stars!! Quality foam, structure & price. Best bang for my buck.    HRV, readiness & total sleep score metrics increased drastically this week.  See screenshot :) Support: Molds and cushions every crevice under my neck and above shoulders. So comfy  Size: Adjustable loft but king length is perfect to hug and rest your head.  Love love love. The 1st 2 nights were uncomfortable with pillow as is, first night I was up at 3am half asleep pulling foam out but wasn't enough. The second night at 2am I pulled out more stuffing. I was getting frustrated..  my Oura ring showed both nights I was awake every hour.  Not good.  Before the 3rd night I pulled enough to fill the bag the 2 pillows arrived in. Boom -8hrs sleep and for the first time ii years I achieved 17% Deep sleep.  Huge. Weight: Perfect weight with adjustment. Squishy and molds to b the contour of my neck and shoulders Softness: Like the baby bear.. just right.   Comfort: Very comfortable after removing 30% foam in both pillows. I actually now have enough to make a 3rd pillow, replace old foam, or adjust OGs, Still to early to measure.  If you have a foam mattress that contours your body but not your head you'll end up with neck and/or back pain from head being elevated- not sinking/molding the body into a foam mattress.
