This is a rare Saxifraga stolonifera. I have no idea what its exact name, so I simply call it golden.

1.     its richer color: features more red, yellow. Like the Marple leaves of autumn. It keeps this rich color all the year, from small to large.

2.     Saxifraga stolonifera, features thread-like, red stolons (runners) that bear tiny plantlets, allowing it to spread and form a low-growing mat.  White, it does not have those typical stolons. It multiplies the same way as micro Saxifraga stolonifera.

Here are more photos.


Based on my experience, I think I need to point out:

1. water: do not be afraid to water too much. No drainage is totally ok. I make terrariums and I use close terrariums to keep them. They can even live in waterlog (I happen to have some and will record a short clip tomorrow).

2. soil: it is not picky for soil. garden soil, clay soil, dry moss, and rocks as long as you keep it moist.

BTW, this beautiful color in the photo is an outcome of low light (an 7-10W white grow light) and high moisture.



The first time I see it I fell in love with this cute plants that I prepared a moss tank for them. Thise video is taken a week ago.




Here is a short video how I planted it into a ​​urchin shell. Its actual color is more close to above photos. My videos are taken in dark rainy days and I have to brighten the screen.


All planting video added.
