This plant is fairly slow at growing. But it has managed to hang in there for me.

It does not like full sunlight. I found that out when I noticed that it was starting to lift its leaves straight up in an attempt to reduce available surface area. Also the speckling turned a deep maroon (but I didn't notice any immediate damage).

I am currently experimenting with propogation from leaves. The leaves have calloused over, and only one has put out roots so far.

All in all, it has been an interesting plant with nice squatty disposition.

Known to me as Calico Hearts. This has been a slow grower for me, but I have not managed to kill it yet! It got sunburned earlier this summer when I moved it to midday sun, so I do not recommend full sun for this succulent. Water less in winter but do not allow it to shrivel. Takes more water than cacti. The plant I have grew from a single leaf stuck in sandy soil.
