It is smaller plant, with short stem up to 5cm. The color may vary from very dark green and almost black, to light grey. In nature are leaves usually covered with soil. The leaves may be recurved and elongated away from the stem, or short and compressed upon one another. The plants may have very long elongated stems or be reduced to almost stemless.
Water evenly and generously in the summer, letting the soil media dry out between watering. In the winter, reduce watering to every other month. Never allow water to collect in the rosette.
When taking offsets, use a sharp knife or snippers and cut as close to the mother stem as possible to including as many roots as possible, then allow the offset to dry briefly before repotting it (similar to cuttings from other succulents).
Normal room temperatures (65-75°F/18-24°C) spring through fall. In winter, allow plant to rest, keeping it cooler (around 60°F/16°C) if possible.
The leaves are dark green to black, often with a grayish tinge, sometimes brown with stress, and covered with small bumps.
