Description:
The name of this plant refers to Ubombo, South African area where the first exemplar was probably found. It is a succulent characterized by stems tending to prostrate towards the ground, which keep dimensions of a few centimeters long but often curled up to give life to small tufts of variable size. The stems are equipped with very protruding tubercles, similar to small soft teeth, and take on changing opaque green tones pleasantly streaked or spotted of brown-violet. The real strength of O. ubomboensis are the inflorescences: unlike the other species of the genus, its starry flowers are smaller, of a uniform dark shade and bloom near the apex of the stems; their velvety charm will be 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.
