Description:
It is a succulent plant from the tropical areas, which is highly appreciated all over the world for its deep ornamental qualities, combined with the extremely easy cultivation. It is a fast-growing herbaceous plant, consisting of creeping or drooping stems, covered with small triangular leaves, similar to a boat, also easily recognizable, due to the double color they take: bright purple on the lower surface and green-reddish on the upper one. In summer, the overall decorative appearance is amplified by small lilac or magenta flowers, which complement the already striking shades of the plant.

Plant care:
It likes very bright spaces, which guarantees the optimal variegation of the leaves, but it is preferable to avoid direct sunlight.
It resists well even at very high temperatures; at the same time, it does not like temperatures below 10 °C.
In summer it needs the soil to be always moistured (for example, by spraying the leaves), while in winter it is preferable to let the substrate dry well.
A substrate for cactacea, combined with sand is an optimal solution, as it facilitates drainage.
They do not need frequent fertilizations, it is enough to dilute fertilizer with watering once a year.
