Description:

The variegated shape of this succulent presents the typical yellow zones in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent. These striations will never be the same from one plant to another, therefore each plant will be absolutely unique and, for this reason, strongly sought after by fans of succulents. The name of the species comes from the unusual use of its sap, which since ancient times was exploited as soap. Its stem, of dark green colour with oval white spots, has long fleshy leaves with red indentations at the margins, with an initially erect posture tending to flatten in the more mature plants. Its inflorescences take place mainly from spring to summer, generating, at the apex of long stems, numerous and showy hanging flowers with a salmon pink colour.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light all year round, however avoiding direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures, but never below 8 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water moderately only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once every two weeks in spring and summer, once every two months in autumn and completely suspend watering in winter.

A well-draining and at the same time nourishing soil is an optimal solution. A mix of 60% of peat and 40% of inert materials is a perfect combination.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
