Small plants of 8 cm diameter, with thick triangular leaves. On the edges of the leaves there are upright teeth in opposite pairs that looks like an animal mouth. It may become bushy.
The plants are light green, turning purple if exposed to strong sunshine.

Put the plants in small pots with a well-drained soil. In a very sunny exposure and if possible outside in summer.
Moderate watering in summer and not at all in winter for the plant is a rest period without which it can not flourish.
