Graptopetalum bellum is cultivated as an ornamental plant.
This species requires more shade than the others of the family, as it is found near cliffs in the wild.

It needs a soil that is light and porous with good drainage.
Fertilize only during the growing season, diluted to half on the recommended rate.
Use fertilizer for cactus or succulent plants.

It requires a low temperature for flowering in spring : at least one month at 15 °C (59 °F) or less.
It can survive a short period at −15 °C (5 °F), if totally dry.
Do not water, or only enough to avoid shrivelling.
 Be careful to prevent rotting, especially in winter by low temperature or humid air.

The tightly-packed rosettes are attractive to mealy bugs.

The plant is propagated by division of offshoots, rooting of individual leaves and seed.

Graptopetalum bellum has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
