This exclusive masterpiece of natural rock-garden (alpine) aesthetics is a true visual magnet. The plant’s greatest pride and unmistakable trademark are its breathtaking foliage and silhouette: it forms an exceptionally dense, compact, ground-hugging, perfectly smooth hemisphere that visually resembles a miniature, vivid green hill or a velvety moss cushion. To the touch, this carpet is dense and springy, creating a unique presence of natural architecture.

Place it on the brightest windowsill (south-, southeast-, or west-facing).

If you pour water directly over the top, the extremely dense foliage will not be able to dry, and in contact with stagnant moisture it will quickly begin to turn brown and rot from the center.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003e🌡️ \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"4\"\u003eTemperature\/Humidity:\u003c\/b\u003e A lover of coolness and fresh air!

It requires excellent air circulation! If brown, dried-out, or rotten patches appear in the center of the cushion, this is a warning sign that the plant lacks light or fresh air, or has been watered from above. When you repot it in the future, be SURE to use a \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"534\"\u003especial, mineralized, highly porous alpine plant or succulent soil mix\u003c\/b\u003e (generously mixed with sand, gravel, and perlite) to ensure fast, excellent drainage and protect the roots from rot.
