Its rosettes are fan-shaped, made up of smooth, fleshy, semi-elliptical leaves, that grow in pairs of two from the centre of existing leaves. The predominant dark green color is densely spotted with lighter dots, and has numerous yellow variegations, that develop longitudinally along the leaves. Its flowering takes place in spring, at the apex of a long stem, where small cylindrical flowers of a white, red or pink color, bloom.
