Fenestraria Rhopalophylla "Baby Toes" is one of our personal favorites here at Succy Crafts. They grow toe-like fleshy leaves with a glossy window right at the top of their leaves. The leaf windows let the sunlight in to help it absorb energy to grow. A very unique plant that blooms white or yellow daisy like flowers Summer through Fall. They grow in low clusters that will look great as a unique ground cover for your succulent garden.

Watering Needs Indoors: Instead of giving your succulents gradual sips of water throughout the week, give them a good soaking, to the point where water runs out the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot. Be sure to empty the water that runs into the saucer, succulents do not like to sit in water. Then let the soil dry out completely before watering again.
