It is characterized by the formation of pseudo bulbs along the margins of broad succulent leaves, which, when separated, give rise to a new individual. Known as Aranto, the devil's spine, clanchoe, Mexican klanchoe, evil mother, mother of thousands, crocodile plant or azure, it is a plant that is considered offensive. In fact, its high colonial potential has invaded Zerofiles areas in countries such as the United States, Venezuela, Puerto Rico, Spain, South Africa, or Australia. This species is widely used as a medicinal plant due to its medicinal properties. In fact, it has been shown to contain ingredients that may be helpful in cancer, but it is not yet possible to synthesize them so that they can find a suitable drug for consumption. On the other hand, it contains catalytic enzymes that act as cell tissue regenerators, which also strengthen the immune system. Similarly, it contains vitamins and minerals, which are favorable for its use in medicine or as a raw material in cosmetology. However, one should be very careful about its consumption and diet, as it contains glycosidic aglycones and steroids which are toxic to the body. In fact, these compounds combine with carbohydrates to form cardiac glycosides that can cause nausea, vomiting, and a decrease in heart rate.
