Easy to grow in pots using regular potting soil. Does best in full sun, treat like any other succulent plant when watering. Bring it inside when frost or freeze threatens. The best thing about this plant is the "feel" of the sturdy rubbery leaves.

not grown this plant but seen it at several nurseries in southern California... it is a rare native from the island of Molokini (and one other site) where it grows in the rock soil up to 18" all. Leaves succulent and cup-shaped. Wonderful looking plant but no idea on its hardiness yet.

Regional...
