Description:
It is a very particular dwarf succulent, consisting of extremely short stems, which do not exceed a few centimeters in height, but rather tend to develop horizontally, covering large horizontal surfaces with their fleshy leaves with rounded tips. The foliage has a smooth, light grayish appearance, with darker and translucent specks, that characterize the whole genus. The new leaves are generated from the center of the gap between the older leaves, which, once dried, will act as a protective sheath for the new shoots. From the same crack, in autumn, pleasantly fragrant yellow flowers bloom, sometimes even larger than the plant itself.

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.
