A very distinctive and unique compact succulent whose origin is not entirely clear, it nonetheless is welcomed and much loved by all succulent growers. As you might have guessed, the plant got its common name from the movie ‘ET the Extra-Terrestrial’, who had similar looking suction tipped fingers in the movie.
