A. decorum is a variable species. The diameter of the rosette can range from 1.5 to 4 inches. Colors can be variable from clone to clone, and depending on sun exposure. Plants grown in the shade are usually a dark green color, but in full sun they can range from a reddish orange to bronze color. This plant is commonly confused with two of its close relatives, A. haworthii and A. leucoblepharum.
It is known to form hybrids with A. canariense and A. castello-paive.

A small succulent with purplish brownish, opposite leaves. Very frost tolerant, frost hardy down to at least 17 degrees f. Small tubular yellow flowers that form from terminal flower stalks. Each flower stalk may have anywhere from 2 flowers to 8+. Extremely easy to propagate from the leaves that fall off with the slightest touch, from seed, and from stem cutting. The plants are perennial, and after flowering, new stems grow from the base. Native to the Southern USA (Texas) and Northeastern Mexico.
