Propagation
Surface sow seeds immediately after collecting and maintain a temperature of 18º to 21º C. (64º to 75º F). Prick out when large enough to handle and pot up.
Take a stem or leaf cuttings from late spring to early summer and a place in a well drained media in a semi-shaded position. Keep moist but not wet as cuttings rot easily.
Botanic information
Leaf: The sessile thick leathery texture, warty broad-spathulate to wedge-shape leaves are up to 30 mm (1? in) long with curved entire margins. They are arranged densely in an overlapping rosette and are narrow towards the base.
Flower: The deep pink crateriform flowers are up to 20 mm () wide and have many overlapping striped petals and a central cluster of creamy white stamens that form a cone-shape. They appear just above the foliage on a short pedestal during spring and open in the late afternoon or early evening.
Fruit: The tiny capsule fruit contains several seeds that are viable but the plant is normally reproduced vegetatively to maintain true to type.
