Initial Notes:

"I love this plant because the leaves actually do feel like leather. Everytime I pass by this plant I have to stroke the leaf because it certainly doesn’t look like it has the texture of leather. As the plant grows it will continue to produce more bulbs and continue to fill your pot. This is a plant that grows out and not up, so its not about to take over. The maximum height will be approximately 8inch but then will continue to fill the pot it is in. It has an interesting bloom that sends out stalks from the base of the plant. "

This one is pretty droopy. It seems to have a hard time recovering but maybe is that stature.

This plant is almost identical to the labeled D. botryoides and the D. kirkii
