A xGraptoveria is an intergeneric hybrid between Graptopetalum and Echeveria, two closely related genera from Mexico and elsewhere in the Americas. These plants are soft-leaved rosette succulents. A number of popular hybrids in this group have glaucous pink or glaucous white/blue leaves.

A xGraptoveria flower can often be distinguished from Echeveria by the stamens arching outside the petals when the stigma is receptive. This Graptopetalum feature tends to appear in the hybrids between these genera.

A xGraptoveria flower can be distinguished from Graptopetalum based on its shape: xGraptoverias have tubular or cup-shaped flowers, not the flat (open) ones of Graptopetalum.
