Why You'll Love It

Translucent, Windowed Leaves
Plump, fleshy leaves form compact rosettes and feature translucent “windows” at their tips, allowing light to filter through—a natural adaptation that gives the plant its name. These soft, pale green leaves almost glow when lit from above, offering a truly unique visual effect.

Compact & Clumping Growth
Stays tidy and compact, typically growing up to 8 cm tall and 10 cm wide. Over time, it forms attractive clumps, perfect for filling small pots or adding texture to rock gardens and succulent arrangements.

Effortless Care
Thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Drought-tolerant and slow-growing, this low-maintenance succulent is an excellent choice for beginners or anyone seeking a no-fuss houseplant.
