Hello,
I have two clones of this hybrid. One is refered to as nightmare, since
the rosettes can grow very large, compared with D. rotundifolia. This
hybrid is very beautiful! It is easy to mistake this hybrid for D.
rotundifolia. You have probably seen a bunch of these hybrids during your
seaching, but didn't reconize them. It can be propagated only through leave
cuttings.
