It stays green year-round, and when sunlight hours increase and the temperature difference is great, the whole plant turns pink. It grows slowly in summer and needs relatively little water; it is extremely easy to propagate and forms clusters, with propagation mainly by cuttings, and leaf cuttings are also possible.

A perennial miniature succulent with a short plant, very short branches and leaves pressed against the fleshy stem, fleshy leaves in whorls, generally spreading in a spiral, with red at the leaf tips where the edges are exposed to sunlight, and flowers terminal, white, with the flowering period generally from April to May.

It likes sunlight, is drought-tolerant, tolerates poor soil, slightly tolerates partial shade, is not cold-tolerant, and is not suited to overly moist soil or an environment with too little light. It has strong adaptability and is relatively easy to cultivate. In summer, growth slows under high temperatures, so light should be appropriately increased.
