And get this, there's even more excitement because this type of succulent is perfect as an ornamental plant.
Plus, it's dimorphic, which means it starts out as a low-growing, almost flat plant before developing into a rounded rosette with stiff, erect leaves as it matures.
Talk about a transformation! This variegated version of the spike plant is perfect for containers and brings an exotic touch to any space.
