Little rosettes form on six inch stolons, spreading out horizontally, eventually forming a large cluster. Depending upon light and fertilizer levels, the plants will be reddish-green to bright red. Less fertilizer and more light brings out maximum color.

This miniature species has never been properly classified but remains an extremely popular plant. Outstanding in hanging baskets, in landscape and in terrariums.

A cultivar of ampullacea x tigrina by W. Morris. This is a great little plant with the characteristics that make it hot for hybridizers. A miniature, about 6 inches tall in an upright, stoloniferous rosette, with light green leaves heavily barred below with dark reddish-maroon.

The bars and bands show through the leaf from below. The green base color will turn yellow with strong light and the red bands become much brighter too. The plant was a favorite of our late friend Wally Berg.
