Description,
Notes
|
African native succulent in the Crassulaceae
Family grown for its outrageous burgundy spotted foliage;
leaves can reach up to 5" wide!; foliage will spill over
(from weight) if not pruned back yearly, which also helps
to generate the best color; excellent indoor houseplant
for sunny windows; drought resistant; prefers well drained
soils and dry-out in between waterings; this one is very
frost sensitive, so grow inside or make sure to protect
when temperatures approach freezing.
