Description:
It is a succulent that is highly appreciated and sought after particularly for its very showy flowers, that have an almost sculptural appearance. The stems are fleshy, typically creeping with growth, which are equipped with the teeth, that distinguish all plants of this genus. The name of this plant derives from the peculiar red and cream streaks of the corolla, further enriched by a central burgundy ring in relief, similar to rubber, and with an extremely shiny appearance (a feature that gives the succulent the nickname of "life-saving plant"). It really needs very little attention, and with minimal care it will be able to give your rooms a remarkable, truly unique ornamental touch!

Plant care:
It requires an exposure to full sun. However, it can be placed in a partially shaded area only if it still receives a lot of light throughout the year.
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 in spring and autumn but only when the soil is completely dry, reduce watering to once every two months in summer and suspend it completely in winter.
The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
