Blooming time.
The contrast between the brilliant white flowers, their
golden stamen and the spotted green plant bodies, is very attractive.

Cultivation:
After flowering in the
autumn and extending through
winter the plant doesn’t need
watering, but extracts
water from the outer
succulent leaves, allowing them to
shrivel away, and relocating water to the rest of the plant and to the
new leaves that form during this period. This plant is best for a well
lit area (Bright
shade to
full sun). Water sparingly only in warm
weather; don't water when
it's cold. |
