Description:
A medium-sized succulent plant that can reach up to 60 cm in height. In its natural habitat it grows in rocky places, from which it takes its name "petricola". Its leaves are of a bluish-gray color, with serrated margins, they have a wide base that narrows towards the tips, tending to close upwards (thus giving the plant a spherical-rounded appearance). Its inflorescences occur mainly from spring to summer blooming, on long stems, with numerous tubular flowers of showy colors: red at the apex and intense yellow in the lower part. The sap of the A. petricola has been used for centuries as a natural remedy for relieving stomach troubles.

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.
