I like this little guy, different and always interesting to observe because of some new place the leaves spring from. It's a rather new pachy and it tolerates differing temps inside as well as variable light conditions.
I logged in here hoping to find answer to a question: It gets little white sticky spots on it. They seem to be mealy bugs but they are so small I can't tell. The plant seems healthy. Any ideas?

Wonderfully fat, multibranched species with thick, short, silvery spines and soft, paddle-shaped leaves in warmer months, and deep yellow flowers on very tall stalks far above plant in spring. Cold sensitive... not a good outdoor plant in southern California, but a great pot specimen.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Maricopa, Arizona
Reseda, California
Clearwater, Florida
