Monanthes come from the Crassulaceae family, making them related to other plants like the echeveria succulent. These green friends originate from around the northern Africa region and on some of the surrounding islands.

You can identify Monanthes by their interesting shape. They grow in round ball-like fractal patterns and bloom long greenish-white flowers. Monanthes themselves tend to be a light green color.
