Description:
Graptopetalum Bellum, also known as
Tacitus Bellus or Chihuahua Flower, is a perennial succulent native to West
Mexico (Chihuahua). The plant forms large and flat rosettes that grows up to 10
cm in diameter. Its deep green triangular leaves are about 2.5 cm long.
Graptopetalum Bellum flowers are possibly the largest flowered member in the
Crassulaceae family. The deep pink flowers are 5 petalled, star-shaped and have
dark pink/red stamens tipped with white anthers emerging from a pink/red
center. They bloom during late Spring to early Summer and last several weeks.
Cultivation: Tacitus bellus needs more shade than others in the family however
it can tolerate full sun. The soil must be able to hold the moisture that the
plant requires. Water when plant is dry and do not water again until the soil
is completely dry again. During October to March, water very sparingly, using
only enough water to keep the foliage from shriveling. It can overwinter well
also under grow lights in a cool room of the house. Tacitus bellus requires low
temperature for flower formation and it will not flower unless it is
overwintered for at least a month at 15° C or less. Hardiness zone: 9-11
