Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Perennial succulent belonging to the Cactaceae family. Slow-growing plant that forms dense colonies.
Plant height: Generally reaches 5-10 cm in height, but expands in width forming cushions up to 20-30 cm in diameter.
Uses: Ideal for ornamental pot cultivation on windowsills, balconies, and terraces. Perfect for rock gardens, succulent beds, or terrariums in arid and semi-arid environments.

Sowing period: Recommended in spring (February-April) or in late summer/early autumn (August-October) in a controlled environment to optimize germination.

Recommended exposure: Full sun or very bright partial shade to encourage compact growth and abundant flowering.
Germination times: Variable, generally from 7 days to several weeks. Germination can be staggered and irregular.
