This cultivar hybrid grows quite large, 6+ inches in diameter! The seed plant is P. agnata, but the pollen plant is unknown. Based on the hybrid's size and flower, the pollen plant is likely P. macrophylla. When grown in very bright light, the leaves develop a wonderful pink hue. If grown in low light conditions, however, leaves will turn green, but very large and succulent-like.
Keep the soil moist at all times. If the soil dries out, the plant will quickly go dormant and remain dormant for several months
