Leaf Characteristics:

  • Appearance: The leaves of Graptoveria 'Purple Delight' are thick, fleshy, and form a compact rosette. Each leaf is broadly shaped with a rounded tip.

  • Color: The leaves boast a stunning purple hue that can intensify to a deeper, almost metallic purple under optimal sun exposure or cooler temperatures.

Care Guidelines:

  • Light: Prefers full sun to partial shade. Adequate sunlight is crucial for maintaining the vibrant purple coloration of the leaves.
