Description:
The name of this extraordinary succulent native to Kenya comes from the Latin 'pinguis' which means fat, referring to the appearance of its leaves. Its natural habitat is arid, rocky and at an altitude ranging from 50 to 250 m above sea level. S. pinguicula is very known for its peculiarity that distinguishes it from all the Sansevieria: unlike the others, it develops long and robust aerial roots which end in a new plant. This characteristic makes it highly sought after by collectors all over the world and thanks to its particular bearing is also called Sansevieria ambulante. It grows slowly and can reach a maximum height of 30 cm. Its leaves are fleshy, arranged in rosette and moon-shaped ending with a tip. The skin is bluish green, with a pruine that protects it from the elements.

Plant care:
It likes a lot of brightness, preferably avoiding direct sunlight.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 10 °C, for this reason it is recommended to place it in sheltered places: it adapts perfectly to the temperatures of apartments and offices.
Water moderately, only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once every 10 days in summer and once a month in winter.
A well-draining soil suitable for succulents is an optimal solution: gravel can be added to facilitate drainage and we recommend pots with a diameter that is not very large, but that are rather deep.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
