What's special?Is it a plant? Or just an exotic flower? Or a red hot succulent? Many would say that it is a work of art! To put it in simple words, Firestorm is a fast-growing, sun-loving, succulent plant. The center starts with green colour, then some shades or yellow in between and vivid red at edges for finishing. The most strking thing about this succulent is that as it gets the exposure of sun, the red gets brighter. That is also the reason why this particular type is called the “Firestorm succulent”. During springtime Firestorm produces round clusters of small flowers which offers the same striking contrast as their parent. This fast-growing and easy-to-care beauty can surely be a great addition to your succulent family.
