Guide

The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.

A trailing succulent subshrub from Mexico's Gulf region, storing water in its plump, bead-like leaves and built for bright sun and gritty, fast-draining mix. Water deeply only when the soil has dried out completely through the pot, then let it dry again; standing moisture rots the stems and roots. The leaves detach easily, so handle the trailing stems gently.
