Description:
Succulent characterized by slender stems that do not exceed a height of 10 cm, tending rather to gather in pleasant tufts of an intense greyish green, sometimes slightly mottled with violet. Each stem is adorned with bulging teeth even 1 cm long, pointed and soft, which are symmetrically dotted the entire length facing upwards. The real highlight of Orbea is undoubtedly the inflorescence: between late summer and early autumn between the stems bloom peculiar star-shaped flowers with extremely elongated tips, which take on a dark yellow hue often dotted with a strong burgundy that intensifies near the floral throat, for a very captivating final effect, impossible to miss!

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight. In autumn they need much more light and heat so they will bloom abundantly.
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 and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce it to once every two months in autumn and to 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.
