Description:

It is particularly appreciated for its globose caudex. It is a highly sought after plant, because it combines a refined shape with adaptability to the surrounding environment. It consists of a whitish spherical caudex, wrinkled and with a rough texture, from which, in the vegetative periods, not very long branches with dark green palmate leaves emerge, which are lobed 5 to 7 times. In summer, the green of the branches contrasts with the bright red or pink color of the small cluster of flowers. In winter the plant loses its branches and remains "dormant" with only the spherical tuber exposed. This succulent is also very resistant to drought, thanks to its imposing caudex, which acts as a water reserve and allows it to remain without water for months.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sun rays, especially during the hottest hours of the day, as long as they might burn the leaves.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 10 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water regularly but moderately during the growing season (when the new leaves are born), always making sure that the soil is always dry between one watering and the next one. During the dormant period (when the leaves begin to turn yellow and fall) suspend watering.

The best soil is a well-draining and porous one, even better if further enriched with 50% or more of inert materials such as pumice, lapilli or clay.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
