Cute little frosted Zebra

Are the zebra stripes pretty stable, Chanin? I occasionally see that type of marking on a young pup, but it usually grows out of it as it matures.

It's strange Lisa, Zebra's markings seem to get better when get bigger.
Thought they are not clear-cut markings, but they are quite stable.

Chanin what was the cultivar from? Have you tried any crosses with it and did you get the stripping to follow

Hi Bryan, I have seen this plant on eBay sometimes, I really have no idea
where its origin, but two years ago a friend brought me this plant from Bill Baker.
The plant seems to be a hybrid from Dyckia platyphylla or D. brevifolia.

It's not flowered yet, I do hope it will get soon, so I can try some crosses.

I just bought a Dyckia that looks a lot like that. It's the first time I've seen a brom that has those fat, succulent-type leaves.

This zebra efect or stripes are quite common on Dyckias. In nature we have one form of Dyckia goehringii that does this and it is difficult to be spoted among lichens on the stony place they live.
Another Brazilian native species and almost unknown is Dyckia racemosa from Mato Grosso. It has clearly two forms one totally silver and another striped.
Hybrids do that once in a while. If we do not water these plants from above (hosing)this stripes turn to be much more conspicuous.
