Excellent wart remedy, widely recommended even by medical doctors, in South Africa. Works on pets too. Thick, fleshy, grey-green leaves are sliced lengthwise and placed cut side on the wart for 8-12 hours daily. Eventually warts soften and drop or rub off. Succulent shrub with showy coral flowers on a stem up to 60 cm/2 ft. Very easy to grow.
