This is an attractive and easy-growing hybrid between the occasionally touchy south-Chinese oblanceolata and what has been distributed as a possible ultramafica  hybrid, though is likely just a very attractive spatulata form. This cross grows to almost 4" in diameter maximum, developing semi-erect rising rosettes of slender, paddle-shaped leaves that in good lighting typically turn solid crimson. Flower stalks are moderately tall and sport a number of sterile, fairly large blooms so pale pink they often appear white. Great as an individual plant, they will often divide or bud from old leaves and roots to form colonies over time.

Available plants will typically be between 1.5-2.5" in diamter, semi-mature.

This is the largest form of this hybrid that I have retained; when planted separately individual specimens can reach over 3 inches across (though often average between 1.5-2" especially in colony growth), with flat to semi-erect rosettes of spoon-shaped leaves that readily flush solid scarlet in strong lighting. Flower stalks typically reach around 12 inches tall maximum, and can sport a very large number of sometimes mildly self-fertile, bright pink blooms. Very suitable for beginner growers, and will often quickly divide or bud from old leaves or roots to form colonies.

Available plants will be semi-mature to mature, averaging from 1-1.5" in diameter.

This backcross hybrid strongly resembles some of the more uncommon (in cultivation at least) forms of D. natalensis with longer, slender petioles than is typically known; plants average around 2" in diameter but can reach up to 3" across in some cases, with flat to slightly upright rosettes of spoon-shaped leaves that in good lighting can turn solid red. Flower stalks can be nearly 2 feet in length at times, bearing numerous small, light pink self-pollinating flowers. As they will often bud from old leaves or roots, this cross will frequently develop colonies over time.

Available plants are approximately 1.5-2" across, semi-mature.

Outcrossing can often result in notably more vigorous plants, and this is one good example. A standard line crossed with the recessive 'Albino' cultivar produces plants that look standard, but with very good growth easily reaching 6" or more in diameter and the potential, when allowed to bloom and set seeds, to produce both more typical plants as well as the white-flowered cultivar.

Available plants are semi-mature to mature, between 3-5" in diameter.
