Appropriately names because it can be neglected for long periods of time and still survive.  With short, stiff, succulent leaves, this plant is very versatile and like aeranthos, a good place to start for beginners.  Pups well and quickly forms adorable little clumps

 This clone produces a purple hue when grown in strong light. NOTE if grown in low light it will be mostly green. I have seen other clones that are much more vibrant in color, I would consider this a B grade clone to some of those
