Details:
This small and delicate plant is mainly native to South Africa and its length reaches a maximum of 18-45 cm. The length of the leaves is 1.5 to 2 cm and their thickness is 9 to 13 mm
The pink dots on the edge of the leaves give it a special beauty (the more light there is, the more colorful these dots become).
Its small flowers appear in late winter and early spring. Due to its small size and the need for a small pot, it can be kept in bright areas of the house and apartment (it needs a few hours of direct sunlight per day and a lot of light).
It has a strong readiness for root rot, so be very careful about the amount of irrigation and the lightness of the soil and proper drainage.
