description_en: Genus of about 30 species of evergreen, perennial, occasionally biennial succulents, often subshrubby, mainly found on hillsides in Madeira, the Canary Islands, Cape Verde Islands, N. Africa, and the Mediterranean. Neat rosettes of fleshy leaves are produced at the ends of clustered basal shoots. Terminal cymes, panicles, or racemes of numerous star-shaped, many-petalled flowers, 8-15mm (3/8-1/2in) across, develop from the centres of the rosette from spring to summer. In some species the flowering branches die once the seeds have ripened. Where temperature fall below 10°C (50°F), grow in a cool or temperate greenhouse or as house-plants; elsewhere, grow in a border.
hardiness_en: Frost tender; they may withstand occasional short periods of frost in dry conditions.
cultivation_en:
propagation_en: Sow seed at 19-24°C (66-75°F) in spring. Take rosette cuttings in early summer, wait until calluses have formed, then insert in sandy cactus cutting compost in moderate light, at 18°C (64°F), and keep barely moist until rooted.
pests_en: Prone to greenfly especially while flowering, and to mealybugs in autumn and winter.
