The common name of this beautiful fine textured succulent from South Africa refers to its moss-like appearance. Its lax stems give rise to ascending branchlets that are hidden under tiny overlapping scale-like leaves. The vivid bright green foliage takes on bronze tints in hot dry conditions. Inconspicuous yellow-green flowers appear between the leaves in summer and at other seasons after watering. Pruning back flower stems will stimulate increased vegetative growth.
