Characteristics:
- Distinctive Spiraling Leaf Arrangement: Thick, paddle-shaped leaves stack and twist in a captivating, sculptural pattern.
- Silvery-Grey Foliage: Leaves typically exhibit a beautiful silvery-grey color, often with hints of pink or purple under bright light or cooler temperatures.
- Compact and Upright Growth: Maintains a relatively compact and upright form, making it ideal for smaller spaces and arrangements.
- Textural Interest: The thick, fleshy leaves and unique growth pattern provide significant tactile and visual interest.
- Drought-Tolerant: Well-adapted to dry conditions and requires minimal watering once established.
- Relatively Slow-Growing: Retains its unique shape and form for an extended period.
Care Tips:
- Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight to full sun. More light can enhance coloration, but protect from intense midday sun, which can scorch the leaves.
- Watering: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of problems. Reduce watering significantly during the dormant winter months.
- Soil: Requires well-draining succulent or cactus potting mix. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.
- Temperature: Prefers moderate temperatures (65-75°F or 18-24°C) during the growing season. Can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures in winter but protect from frost.
- Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity. Avoid excessively humid environments.
- Fertilizing: Feed sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer once every 2-4 weeks. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant winter months.
- Propagation: Can be propagated from leaf cuttings or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous over before planting in well-draining soil.
