Description:

The variegated shape of this succulent presents the typical yellow zones, or in even rarer cases pink, in the exact points where the chlorophyll is absent; such zones will never be identical from one plant to another, thus making each exemplar absolutely unique and, for this reason, very sought after by collectors. The name of this "living stone" comes from the brackish habitat where it was found for the first time. It has a grey-bluish body, with the upper part of the fleshy leaves of a darker grey, covered by pleasant pale maculatures. It consists of only two fleshy leaves separated by a fissure, from which comes the large and elegant pure white flower. It is very prone to rottenness due to excess water and moisture, so it requires the maximum of care in cultivation.

Plant care:

It likes very bright places, however, avoid direct sunlight during the hottest hours of the day. It prefers environments with low humidity.

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 moderately in spring and summer but only when the soil is completely dry and suspend watering 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.
