description_en: Genus of about 20 species of fleshy, perennial succulents found in semi-desert areas of South Africa. Pairs of thick, fleshy leaves, often of different sizes, unite to form an almost spherical or elongated body. Solitary, daisy-like flowers are borne from early autumn to early winter. The plants offset freely, producing large colonies. Where temperatures drop below 7°C (45°F), grow as houseplants or in a temperate greenhouse. In warm, dry climates, grow in a desert garden or mixed border with other succulents.
