For perennial succulent herbs, small and medium-sized varieties. The leaves of plants are closely arranged in rosette. The leaf blade is plump and long spoon shape, leaf margin is thinner, have leaf tip. Leaf color is light green, strong light and temperature difference between day and night or winter low temperature period leaf color is dark, leaf margin purple. Low light leaves light green. Leaf margins often appear purplish red in large temperature differences. The leaves are covered with slight white powder, and the old leaves are smooth after falling naturally. Moonlit flowers need to receive sufficient sunlight leaf color leaf margin will be beautiful, plant type will be more compact and beautiful. Too little sunshine leaves light color, leaves arranged loosely elongated loose. Flower moonlight is more beautiful when she is young. The leaves will be very short under good light. If the leaves are big, it will be difficult to control them. It is easy to grow long. It is the same every day. This is also the most obvious difference from the Moonlight Goddess.

If it is not open air, frostbite will occur at the top growth point of the lower leaves, and death will occur. The whole winter will basically cut off water, and water will be slowly cut off below 5 ℃.
