Description:
Its name comes from the Greek and literally means "sour, bitter", referring to the taste of its bulb, as in the past it was widely cultivated for its medicinal virtues. Studies are still underway to demonstrate how this succulent can be used, currently, for the insecticidal effects of some toxic substances contained in its roots. The leaves of D. platyphylla are oval, green and covered by a very short and transparent hair. Its white flowers have delicate petals that add an additional touch of delicacy to the plant.

Plant care:
It requires exposure to full sun or even partial shade, as long as it still receives a lot of light during all seasons.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and above all never below 5 ° C, for this reason it is recommended to place it in sheltered places during the winter.
It is advisable to always keep the soil moist enough, never dry, to prevent the bulb from drying out. Pay attention to stagnant water that could cause rot.
A strongly draining soil is optimal, for example formed by a mixture of peat and pumice so that the water does not stagnate.
They do not need frequent fertilizations, it will be sufficient to dilute fertilizer with watering once a year.
