Description:
Extremely peculiar succulent characterized by reduced heights, but tending to grow horizontally to give rise to pleasant cushions with multiple heads. Arranged in pairs that grow from the center of the plant, the leaves are extremely fleshy and wedge-shaped compressed laterally: from this unusual shape derives the name of the species, which in Latin means "dug" with reference to the concavity of the foliage in the apical part. The epidermis is of a pleasant greyish-green, very clear and opaque, which perfectly matches with the large daisies flowers in shades of a pinkish-white or yellowish-white.

Plant care:
It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 5 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. Once a week in autumn, once a month in winter and once every two months in spring and summer.
The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
