小球玫瑰 is a succulent plant from the Crassulaceae family, which prefers full sunlight but can also grow in partial sunlight, although the leaf arrangement will be more sparse. It is drought-resistant and should be watered when the medium is slightly dry, and it can also adapt to environments with higher humidity. It is not very cold-tolerant (other information shows it is cold-tolerant, but it does not mean it can withstand extreme cold), it's best to ensure temperatures above zero. Sandy loam or general potting soil can be used as the medium. Over time, the basal leaves may fall off, exposing the stem, which can be pruned to promote branching growth. The cut stems can be used as propagation material for cutting.
小球玫瑰 is usually green, but with increased sunlight and large temperature differences, the whole plant can turn a blood red color, and the plant shape will also remain very beautiful. It can rival roses. If there is insufficient sunlight and excessive water, it can cause the internodes to elongate, the leaves to be compact, obvious etiolation, and easily fall over, with a loose and poor posture.
小球玫瑰 can be grown outdoors, with its main growing season in early spring and late autumn. Since it has shallow roots, it can be planted in shallow pots. In summer, some shading can be provided, and management can be relaxed at other times. Propagation methods include division or cutting. 小球玫瑰 has a variety called "带锦" (With Brocade), known as 小球玫瑰锦 or 龙血景天锦.
