Mebina is an old Japanese name for this old Japanese hybrid plant (an orphan with parentage no one remembers) Very kitten ear-shaped leaves are arranged in a quite flat rosette, each leaf precisely placed and spaced, a beautiful succulent rose. Wavy leaf edges curve upwards and the leaves recurve their very pointy tips back a little. Colors vary from soft and luminous, whitish, palest sage with lavender and amethyst shading older leaves, and the whole plant blushing rose pink in the sun. Growing to 12" wide and more when really happy and established, ( but not much more than a few inches tall! ) there will also be pups peering out from underneath. Springtime flowers are on a tall pinky/orange stem decorated with little, bright yellow bells like an old fashioned street lamp. A very colorful plant and very happy in or near a sunny window.

Quick Care Guide:
- Water - Low (1): Needs very little water to survive. Wait until the plant is completely dry then fully soak. Drought tolerant by nature.
- Light - High (5): Plant needs a lot of light; direct is even better. These plants do best when placed on a window sill or next to a bright window. Avoid concentrated, hot light from window which may cause burning (magnifying glass effect).
- Difficulty - Low (1): These plants need barely any attention to thrive. Set it and forget it.
