I am not a professional nor an expert Crassulaceae taxonomy. Any help with ID and spelling are always welcome. To up-date my list I've been using many books, journals, catalogs and other web-sites. It's been helpful, but I have more work to do. I only ship to the main 48 States. I do ship in the winter months. We offer 72+ hour heat packs for $4.00 each. Please read the front page for ordering information.

Is
a slow-growing small plant reaching a height of 6". The thick rounded leaves are
green with red edges. They are tightly stacked along the stem and store water,
as they are covered with a cuticle to
limit the evaporation. An inflorescence with small star-shaped pink-tinged
flowers may appear on mature plants in winter if they are given proper
conditions of temperature. This plant prefers direct light. South Africa. 15 in
