Living Ground Cover for Dry Lands
It’s like a living carpet of succulents, providing insulation from the heat, slowing down evaporation and lowering soil temperatures and thus also the temperature of the entire environment it’s growing in.
It’s grow patterns is such that it captures a great amount of debris from the wind like leaves and all kinds of organic matter along with providing habitat and protection for beneficial insects like spiders, etc.
On top of that it’s edible and medicinal having similar properties to aloe vera and can be used in the same way.
Can be propagated through cuttings.
Chop and drop, and you fertilize and water the soil at the same time as there’s gel inside them like in aloe vera, fungi will absorb it faster than it can evaporate.
It does have nice flowers though
