sedumzz (Fairfax VA - Zone 7a) on Dec 18, 2021 3:14 PM concerning plant:
Small rosettes, around 1-2 inches in diameter
Leaves are very juicy and elongated but round.
Stressed red, red vein down middle
Bonsai/branched-bush growth habit. Very pretty. Forms a cushion.
Leaves are somewhat sticky!? Wouldn't recommend this in landscapes that might get exposed to tree detritus or lots of sand.

Baja_Costero (Baja California - Zone 11b) on Apr 6, 2020 5:36 PM concerning plant:
Small, highly branched, mounding succulent with thick leaves and yellow flowers. Leaves are about half an inch long, about half as thick as wide, with yellowish color and dramatic red highlights from sun stress. Stems are thin, smooth, and sticky; leaves are puberulent and very sticky. Rosettes are generally packed tight together. They adopt a tight, round profile during summer. Inflorescences are very small for the genus, with 6-15 flowers or as few as 1 each. From Tenerife and La Palma in the Canary Islands.
Relatively common in cultivation and well suited for container culture, though the diminutive size of this plant means it tends to get lost in the landscape.
