Cotyledon papillaris

It is a small shrubby succulent plant, which branches out a lot and does not exceed 10 cm in height. It has cylindrical erect leaves of a glaucous green color with purple hues at the tip. The foliage is of various lengths, up to 6 cm, covered with a whitish pruina, which gives the plant a dusty and opaque appearance and has the essential function of reflecting the sun's rays and conserving the water inside the leaves. From late spring to summer, its bell-shaped orange-reddish flowers bloom. It is a plant that is easy to grow, but you have to be careful when moving or transferring it, because with just a little touch the leaves fall off; however don't worry, you can ground the fallen leaves, and they will root quickly, giving you new seedlings!
