In terms of its physical characteristics, the Royal Flush Split Rock typically features two to four fleshy, hemispherical leaves that are almost opposite to each other. These leaves vary in color from rose to purple, adorned with numerous tiny, dark spots that create a textured appearance. The plant's compact size, growing up to 3.2 inches tall and 4 inches in diameter, makes it an excellent choice for small spaces and container gardens.

These flowers can reach up to 3 inches in diameter and typically bloom in early spring, offering a striking contrast against the plant's purplish foliage.

Propagation of the Royal Flush Split Rock is typically achieved through seeds, which may require patience, as it can take several years for a seedling to mature fully. This slow-growing nature adds to the plant's appeal, as each new set of leaves gradually replaces the older ones, creating a fascinating growth cycle.
