Originating from South Africa, this compact, slow-growing beauty features chubby lime-green leaves with striking red edges, complemented by unusual mottled markings.

'Daruma Star' produces small, showy flowers in delicate lavender and pink hues, typically less than 2.5 cm across. These blooms, though understated, add an extra layer of beauty during the flowering season.

Propagation is easy through leaf or stem cuttings, making it ideal for enthusiasts looking to expand their collection.
