Description:

Small succulent plant with creeping posture: as its stems grow in length, keeping a diameter of a few centimeters, they settle on the ground forming further roots and rooting very easily in the ground. Of a beautiful emerald green, it has several prominent tubercles, each of which maintains small white marks in the points where the microscopic leaves fall. It generates small star-shaped flowers of dark and intense red colour, with a velvety and extremely elegant look.

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight especially during the hottest hours of the day.

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 but only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce watering to once every two months in autumn, and to suspend it completely in winter.

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.
