​

A miniature species, around the size of a dime, it has thick, slightly pointed, leaves.

​

Propagate with leaf pullings. These aren't always successful but I typically get 3 out of 4 leaves to propagate. 

 

It can be challenging to get leaf pullings from this plant due to its size and leaf shape. I typically use a pair of tweezers to push the leaves to the left then right until it pops off the main plant. Don't grab the leaves with the tweezers as that will puncture the leaves
