Description:

O. carnosa is a plant with a nice bright green color, formed by thin stems and without leaves, but covered by several tubercles with a triangular and pointed shape similar to soft rather pronounced teeth. The real strong point of this succulent are without doubt its very original inflorescences: from the shape of a 5-pointed star, its flowers have yellowish hues enriched by maculatures or symmetrically perfect streaks on the notes of brown or bordeaux, that with their three-dimensionality make each flower absolutely perfect, like a sculpture!

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light throughout the year, however, avoid direct sunlight. In autumn they need much more light and heat so they will bloom abundantly.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 10 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.

Water moderately and only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water it once a week in spring and summer, reduce it to once every two months in autumn and to suspend it completely in winter.

The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice, sand or lapilli.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
