Perfect for beginners and experienced gardeners alike, this species can grow significantly over the years, showcasing its lush leaves and stems up to 8.0" long.

- Native to: South Africa
- Hardiness: Tender soft succulent, susceptible to frost
- Zone: Suitable for zones 10a to 11B
- Recommended light conditions: Partial Sun
- Bloomtime: Spring
Indoors: Instead of providing your succulents with small amounts of water throughout the week, it is advisable to thoroughly soak the soil until water drains from the pot's drainage holes. Ensure that any excess water in the saucer is discarded, as succulents prefer not to sit in water. Allow the soil to completely dry out before watering again.
Outdoors: During the summer, water your succulents every two weeks by giving them a deep soak and allowing the soil to dry before watering again. In the winter, watering once a month is sufficient.
