It can usually be distinguished from its relatives however, by its dark green leaves which become purple in full sun exposure. (This species is almost as dark as its relative Haworthia maraisii.) The leaves have a scabrous (rough) sub-tuberculate, slightly translucent surface, covered in faint, parallel lines and sometimes light flecked markings.
A green leaf is green because of the presence of a pigment known as chlorophyll, which is inside an organelle called a chloroplast. When abundant in the leaf's cells, as during the growing season, the chlorophyll's green color dominates and masks out the colors of any other pigments that may be present in the leaf. Thus, the leaves of summer ...
Overwatering and underwatering are, hands down, the most common causes of peace lily leaves turning yellow, and these two issues can cause leaf drop and wilting, too.

[7] C. tomentosa has red, orange, or yellow bell-shaped flowers between July and September, [12] [7] and there are two recognized subspecies, subsp. tomentosa and subsp. ladismithiensis.
Longitudinal section of a Lithops plant, showing the epidermal window at the top, the translucent succulent tissue, the green photosynthetic tissue, and the decussate budding leaves growing between the mature leaves. The most startling adaptation of Lithops is the colouring of the leaves.
Kalanchoe daigremontiana can spread by both seeds and by plantlets dropped from its leaves. Kalanchoe daigremontiana has an umbrella-like terminal inflorescence (a compound cyme) of small bell-shaped, grayish pink (or sometimes orange) flowers. Flowering is, however, not an annual event and occurs sporadically if at all on some shoots.
