Aeonium (tree houseleek) is a genus
of about 35 species of succulent, subtropical plants of
the family Crassulaceae. The name comes from the ancient
Greek "aionos" (ageless).
While most of them are native to the Canary Islands,
some are found in Madeira and Morocco.
The rosette leaves are on a basal stem. Low-growing
Aeonium species are A. tabuliforme and A. smithii; large
species include A. arboreum, A. valverdense and A.
holochrysum.
Aeonium are not frost-resistant. Aeoniums require
little water (irrigation every 15 days) and in winter
watering can be reduced to up to two months to survive
cold conditions. It needs sun or partial shade. In
general the green Aeoniums prefer some shade - the
purple ones like full sun. They will not withstand frost
and extreme temperatures. In the summer they must be
outside for good growth, The Aeonium does not require
a particular soil but it must be free draining. In sandy
soils compacted plant grows best. It grows well in
direct ground or in pots. When the plant is located
directly on the ground the plants need shelter from the
direct sun (especially if they have been indoors for the
winter) and frost or low winter temperatures. |

Aeonium
arboreum
Aeonium arboreum,
(syn. Sempervivum arboreum), the tree aeonium, tree
houseleek, or Irish rose, is a succulent, subtropical
subshrub of the genus Aeonium.

It bears rosettes
of leaves and large pyramidal panicles of bright yellow
flowers in the spring
It needs to be
grown under glass.
The purple form
'Zwartkop' ('Schwartzkopf') has gained the Royal
Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
There is also a
white variety (var. albovariegatum).

bottom, unlike most aeoniums.
The plant is
monocarpic so the flowering stem will die when it
flowers which is normally after about 5 years.
The specific epithet undulatum comes from the Latin
unda, meaning "wave" and refers to the wavy leaves.
The
common name "saucer plant" is applied to this and other
plants of a similar habit.

Gonialoe variegata (syn. Aloe
variegata)
Gonialoe variegata (syn. Aloe
variegata), also known as tiger aloe or
partridge-breasted aloe, it's a species of flowering
plant in the family Asphodelaceae. It is an evergreen
succulent perennial indigenous to South Africa and
Namibia.
Plants grow to around 20–30 cm, new leaves appear
individually over time from the centre of the plant,
flattening older leaves and pushing them outward in a
spiral fashion. Each leaf is a rich green colour with
irregular light green banding made up of amalgamated,
slightly raised oval spots, and similarly light coloured
fine serrations along each edge. In mature plants the
outer, and thus oldest, leaves are 10–15 cm long and
approximately 3–6 cm broad at the base. Depending on
trauma, space, water availability or even old age, outer
leaves will die off, turning golden brown and they
shrivel away.
Plants reach maturity in three to seven years, again
largely dependent on the space, sunlight and water
available, at which point they will begin to send out
racemes of flowers. Flowers develop in a cluster at the
head of the raceme and are spaced out by its rapid
elongation.
The flowers are orange, arranged in a raceme of around
20–30 cm in height. In its natural habitat in southern
Africa, flowers are produced from July to September,
with offsets being readily formed.
The tiger aloe is indigenous to the arid Karoo region of
southern Africa.

Agave
Victoriae reginae
Agave victoriae-reginae, the
Queen Victoria Agave or royal Agave, is a small species
of succulent flowering perennial plant, noted for its
streaks of white on sculptured geometrical leaves, and
popular as an ornamental.
This Agave is highly variable in form, but in general
the rosettes are small and compact, growing to 0.5m,
composed of short, rigid, thick leaves that are green
with a pattern of distinctive white markings. The
markings are generally along leaf keels or margins,
giving a sort of polyhedral appearance. Marginal teeth
are usually lacking, while the terminus of the leaf may
include 1 to 3 spines, each 1.5–3 cm in length. Cream
coloured flowers are borne in erect racemes up to 4m in
length.
Agave victoriae-reginae is found in the Chihuahuan
Desert in the Mexican States of Coahuila, Durango and
Nuevo León, with about a half-dozen subspecies named.
It is cold-hardy as agaves go, and thus finds favour as
a small accent in many northerly gardens. However it is
recommended in the UK that this plant be kept in heated
conditions under glass during winter. It has gained the
Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
When grown as a houseplant, it is best planted in a very
porous, sandy soil and given direct sunlight or bright
shade. The soil should be permitted to dry out between
watering. The plant need only be re-potted about every
two to three years. Propagation is normally by seed,
since the plant rarely produces basal shoots. |

Agave lophantha goshiki bandai
This lovely Agave is solitary,
slow clump forming rosette succulent grows up to 40 cm
tall and 60 cm in diameter, it is variegated with four
distinct colours.
Origin: Mexico: Plateau near El Paso
It is a relatively easy-to-grow species. best suited for
light shade to full sun, but would be better with some
shade in summer.
Looks great in containers or in the ground but does need
a very well-drained soil.
It grows fairly fast in summer if provided with copious
water, but allow to dry thoroughly before watering again
(the more water and fertilizer this plant gets, the
faster it will grow). During the winter months, one should
only water enough to keep the leaves from shrivelling.
It is frost tolerant to -5° C, but it is best to avoid
freezing temperatures.
Remove suckers to show off the beauty and form of the
individual rosette.
Propagation is by suckers, which often are found growing
around the base of the plant, Remove the basal suckers
(if available) in spring or summer and let the cuttings
dry for a few days before inserting into well drained
compost. |

reddish-brown to purple. They have white hairs between
the leaves which are an ingenious way to help it survive
droughts by trapping water vapour from the air. The
plant spreads outwards and forms a low clump which
develops a thick caudex-like base from which smaller
roots serve as an anchor into the soil. Flowers are
spectacular pink to rose-purple up to 4 inches tall in
spring.

Bryophyllum daigremontianum
also called mother-of-millions,
mother-of-thousands, alligator plant, or Mexican hat
plant is a succulent plant native to Madagascar. Like
other members of its genus Bryophyllum, it is able to
propagate vegetatively from plantlets that develop on
its phylloclade margins. All parts of the plant are
poisonous (they contain daigremontianin and other
bufadienolides)which can even be fatal if ingested by
infants or small pets. Bryophyllum daigremontianum has
an umbrella-like terminal inflorescence (a compound
cyme) of small bell-shaped, greyish pink (or sometimes
orange) flowers. Flowering is, however, not an annual
event and occurs sporadically if at all on some
shoots.
As a succulent plant, B. daigremontianum can survive
prolonged periods of drought with little or no water. It
is however not frost-hardy and typically dies if
subjected to temperatures below freezing. |

large orange bell-shaped flowers in spring.
In habitat in Africa, Cotyledons usually grow in rocky
quartz fields where they have excellent drainage
provided by very porous soil. They thrive with bright
light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is
dry to the touch. Water with caution in winter, as the
plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet
for extended periods. They are dormant in summer.

Cotyledon orbiculata
Origin South African
Cotyledon orbiculata, also known as pig's ear.
There are five varieties of the Cotyledon orbiculata,
they differ in shape and colour, the flowers also differ
on each different variety in shape and size, The shape
is also influenced by the immediate environment.
Cotyledon Obiculata grows to approximately 4.3 ft in
height, you can train them to grow outwards and produce
a very sculptural/interesting shaped plant. It has
grey-green, almost white leaves which is coated with a
white powdery substance this helps to reflect sunlight
and conserve water, they are thick leaves with a red
outline.
The bell-shaped flowers are orange-red and hang down
from a tall stalk.
You can propagate by leaf cutting, which will take root
but don't let it get too wet, as it may rot.
This plant, in Africa helps with the treatment of warts |

Crassula is a
genus of succulent plants containing about 1480 accepted
species, including the popular jade plant (Crassula
ovata).
They are native
to many parts of the globe, but cultivated varieties
originate almost exclusively from species from the
Eastern Cape of South Africa.
Crassulas are
usually propagated by stem or leaf cuttings. Most
cultivated forms will tolerate some small degree of
frost, but extremes of cold or heat will cause them to
lose foliage and die

Crassula
perforate
The most important
thing to realise is not to give too much water, water
every few days as this can harm the plant, and it's not
good for the shape of the plant.
The plant will grow too fast and it will lose its
beauty. When the soil is too wet there is also the
possibility that the roots will rot. Let the soil dry
out properly before you water it again. at the end of
October till the end of
February there is so
little light that the plant hardly needs any water.
Maybe once or twice in this period you can put the plant
on a dish with some water on it, so that only the bottom
part of the pot will absorb some water. This should be
sufficient.
Please do not water the plant as much as during the rest
of the year |

Family, native to
semi-desert areas of Central America, Mexico and
Echeveria is a
large genus of flowering plants in the Crassulaceae
northwestern
South America.Plants may be evergreen or deciduous.
Flowers on short stalks (cymes) arise from compact
rosettes of succulent fleshy, often brightly coloured
leaves. Species are polycarpic, meaning that they may
flower and set seed many times over the course of their
lifetimes. Often numerous offsets are produced,
Many Echeveria species are popular as ornamental garden
plants. They are drought-resistant, although they do
better with regular deep watering and fertilizing. Most
will tolerate shade and some frost, although hybrids
tend to be less tolerant. Most lose their lower leaves
in winter; as a result, after a few years, the plants
lose their attractive, compact appearance and need to be
re-rooted or propagated. In addition, if not removed,
the shed leaves may decay, harboring fungus that can
then infect the plant.

Echeveria
Agavoides
This species of flowering plant in the Crassulaceae
family, native to rocky areas of Mexico,
E. agavoides is a stemless succulent plant, 8–12 cm (3–5
in) tall, with a rosette of leaves 7–15 cm (3–6 in) in
diameter. It is often solitary, but old plants in good
condition grow offsets. The leaves are green,
triangular, thicker (6 mm) and more acute than the other
echeverias - hence the explanation of their name
agavoides, "looking like an agave". Some varieties with
bright light have reddish (or bronze) tips and some
forms have slightly red to very red margins. The
inflorescences in summer appear on slender, single-sided
cymes up to 50 cm (20 in) long. The flowers are pink,
orange or red, the petals tipped with dark yellow
As with most echeverias, E. agavoides fears moisture and
prefers mineral soils, growing best in light and even
direct sunshine, which aids flowering. In order to
flower, plants need rest in the winter, without water
and in a cold place - but not less than 5 °C (41 °F). In
temperate regions they must be kept indoors during
winter, but may be placed outside during the summer
months
Many hybrids have been created to obtain more brightly
coloured flowers or leaves.
The easiest methods of propagation are leaf cuttings and
division of older plants.

Echeveria ‘Perle Von
Nürnberg’
is a beautiful succulent that
has interestingly coloured acuminate leaves that are a
pale greyish brown with pink highlights and have a white
powdery dusting. The leaves overlap in solitary, up to 6
inches (15 cm) wide rosettes. The flowers are corral
pink in colour on the exterior with a yellow interior
and appear in summer on 1 foot (30 cm) long
reddish-stemmed inflorescences.
How to Grow and Care
Most of the common Echeveria species are not complicated
succulents to grow, provided you follow a few basic
rules. First, be careful never to let water sit in the
rosette as it can cause rot or fungal diseases that will
kill the plant. Additionally, remove dead leaves from
the bottom of the plant as it grows. These dead leaves
provide a haven for pests, and Echeveria are susceptible
to mealy bugs. As with all succulents, careful watering
habits and plenty of light will help ensure success.
Most Echeveria can be easily propagated from leaf
cuttings.
Re-pot as needed, preferably during the warm season. To
re-pot a succulent, make sure the soil is dry before
re-potting, then gently remove the pot. Knock away the
old soil from the roots, making sure to remove any
rotted or dead roots in the process… |

ECHEVERIA Harmsii
Plush Plant
This soft little fuzzy succulent has beautiful leaf
colour that adds interest to small gardens and pots. It
is a rosette-forming species that hails from northern
Mexico. This evergreen forms small asymmetrical rosettes
comprised of fleshy, football-shaped leaves with a
burnished-red cast along the leaf edges. The rosette
will occasionally send out pups, or lateral plantlets.
As these accumulate, the plant develops a mound-like
habit.
This succulent has large, beautiful flowers, but it is
not a heavy bloomer. In spring it sends up stems topped
with orange, bell-shaped flowers with golden throats.
Each stem may include many flowers that open at
different times for a longer season of colour. The
blooms are highly attractive to hummingbirds.
Like most succulents, this plant prefers full sun and
needs very porous soil, whether grown in a pot or a
frost free rock garden. As plants age, they grow rangy
but this can easily be remedied with careful pruning.
The cuttings root easily in moist sand. Watering should
be done sparingly as this is a very drought tolerant
plant. Feed it occasionally from spring to summer
occasionally with a liquid fertilizer solution at half
strength.

Echeveria Lola
Little known fact: Eceheveria lola is actually a hybrid
two different Echeveria species and was created by a man
named Dick Wright!
Plant it in a terracotta pot, but make sure it is not
glazed. Glazed pottery retains water. Likewise, ensure
the pot is on a saucer and that you remember to dump
excess water from the saucer after watering. You don’t
want to let the plant sit in it.
Give your lola as much sunlight as you can! Bring it
outside during the sunny months if possible, or put it
on a south-facing windowsill. While the plant is hardy,
it will not tolerate frost so bring it inside if the
temperature drops too low.
Water your lola every week or every other week during
the growing season (summer), depending on the heat and
dryness of the air. During the dormant season (winter),
water it much less frequently. Ensure that the soil
becomes completely dry between each watering. If you
feel the need to fertilize (which should be rarely,
maybe once a year), dilute the fertilizer to half
strength and include it when you water.
Echeveria species are known colloquially as “hens and
chicks” because they clone themselves into incredibly
cute plant babies all the time! These “chicks” often hug
tight to the mother, but can be removed and re-potted
whenever you like.

Contact with skin
causes severe irritation, redness and a burning
sensation; contact with the eyes may cause severe pain,
and in some cases temporary blindness for several days.
Symptoms may worsen over 12 hours.
For eye exposures, flush eyes with fresh, cool water for
at least 15 minutes and repeat after a few minutes. Seek
medical attention if there is no relief.
Over-the-counter anti-histamines may provide relief for
some people.
If swallowed, it may cause burning to the mouth, lips,

Euphorbia Polygona
native to South
Africa, forms a ribbed chunky columnar plant of glaucous
grey-green and is heavily armed with spiny protuberances
("peduncles", otherwise known as persistent flower
stalks). The cultivar 'Snowflake' is chalky white and
has fewer spiny protuberances. It has been said that
only a single 'Snowflake' was ever found in Africa. Many
new hybrids have been created using 'Snowflake' as it
tends to pass on excellent genetics for attractive
plants. All Euphorbias contain a white sap that can be
irritating to eyes and mucous membranes. If contact is
made with this white sap, take care to not touch face or
eyes before washing hands with soap and water. Responds
well to warmth, with its active growth period in the
late spring and summer months. Porous soil with adequate
drainage. Requires bright light for best appearance, and
should be given a winter resting period at which time
less water should be given. Protect from frost.

dry areas, and is often used to feed cattle or as
hedging.
The milky latex from E. tirucalli is extremely
irritating to the skin and mucosa and is toxic.
contact with skin causes severe irritation, redness and
a burning sensation; contact with the eyes may cause
severe pain, and in some cases temporary blindness for
several days. Symptoms may worsen over 12 hours.
For eye exposures, flush eyes with fresh, cool water for
at least 15 minutes and repeat after a few minutes. Seek
medical attention if there is no relief.
Over-the-counter anti-histamines may provide relief for
some people.
If swallowed, it may cause burning to the mouth, lips,
and tongue. Deaths have been recorded from swallowing
the latex, and anyone swallowing some should seek
medical attention.

Gasteraloe
Gasteraloe (also known as
× Gastrolea) is a genus of hybrid plants, from mixtures
of species from the Aloe or Aristaloe and Gasteria
genera.
× Gasteraloe hybrids are typically stemless or almost
stemless. Their succulent leaves, which are usually
spotted or marked and have toothed margins, form
rosettes.
Gonialoe variegata and Aristaloe aristata are especially
commonly used for these hybrids, as they are far more
amenable to hybridization with gasterias than most other
"aloes".

Graptosedum
‘California Sunset’
This succulent has compact, Echeveria-like rosettes with
a unique, orangish-pink colour.
Long-cultivated and more widely-distributed than most of
the hybrids made by Robert Grim, The rosettes are at the
tips of eventually decumbent stems, which can simply be
cut back and restarted to maintain a more compact plant.
New growth is a greyish-green but soon takes on its
distinctive coloration that is enhanced by drought as
well as cool winter temperatures. The durability and
grayish new leaves of this hybrid are imparted by
Graptopetalum paraguayense. The pastel coloration and
white flowers come from the other parent, S. adophi,
another durable Mexican succulent in the Crassulaceae.

Graptopetalum
amethystinum
If you like
succulents, this one is as succulent as they get! Lavender
Pebbles (Graptopetalum
amethystinum) is a rare species from Mexico that
looks more like moon rocks than a plant! This cool
succulent has plump, rounded leaves in lovely shades
of lavender, pink, and green. The leaves have a
powdery coating that adds to the eerie, moon rock
look. If grown in a hanging planter, the plant will
spill over the edges 12 to 18 inches. Or let it
trail along the ground like a bed of living pebbles!
Lavender
Pebbles is related to Jade Plant and Echeveria
(Crassulaceae family). The "chubby" leaves are
rounded at the tip, instead of pointy like many
related succulents. The lavender or rose shades
appear strongest in the newer leaves, while the
older growth becomes more greenish. If you rub off
the powdery coating, the colours are more vivid!
The pretty, star-shaped flowers appear in large
numbers around Spring. The plant normally hangs
from steep cliffs in the wild, where it forms
multiple branches. You may root the branches if you
wish, or even the individual leaves. This is a true
species, not a hybrid. It will hybridize with some
related succulents like Echeverias and Sedums.

Gymnocalycium
commonly called chin cactus, is a genus of about 70
South American species of cactus. The genus name
Gymnocalycium (from Greek, "naked calyx") refers to the
flower buds bearing no hair or spines.
Their main area of distribution is Argentina, part of
Uruguay, Paraguay, southern Bolivia and part of Brazil.
Most species are rather small varying from 4 to 15
centimetres in size. In cultivation they are popular for
their easy flowering habits, and the flowers are
generally brightly coloured. Where temperatures fall
below 10 °C (50 °F) they must be cultivated under glass
with heat.

Haworthiopsis is a large genus
of small succulent plants endemic to Southern Africa
and they generally resemble miniature aloes, except in
their flowers, which are distinctive in appearance.
Horticulturally they are popular garden and container
plants.
Haworthiopsis are small succulent plants, forming
rosettes of leaves from 3 cm (1.2 in) to exceptionally
30 cm (12 in) in diameter, depending on the species.
These rosettes are usually stemless but in some species
stems reach up to 50 cm (20 in). The inflorescences of
some species may exceed 40 cm (16 in) in height. The
plants can grow solitary or can be clump-forming. Many
species have firm, tough, fleshy leaves, usually dark
green in colour, whereas others are softer and contain
leaf windows with translucent panels through which
sunlight can reach internal photosynthetic tissues.
Their flowers are small, and generally white. Though
they are very similar between species, flowers from the
species in hexangulares generally have green striations
and those from other species often have brown lines in
the flowers. However, their leaves show wide variations
even within one species. Additionally, when the plants
are stressed (e.g deprived of water), their colours can
change to reds and purples. Depriving them of nitrogen
generally results in paler leaves. |

Haworthiopsis Fasciata

Asphodelaceae, native to the Eastern Cape Province of
South Africa. It is one of the species of Haworthiopsis
that is commonly cultivated as an ornamental.
H. reinwardtii has typical thin, strongly tubercled
leaves
It is a perennial succulent, with stems growing to 20 cm
(8 in)in height, with a basal rosette of white-spotted
fleshy leaves arranged in a spiral pattern, and racemes
of tubular pinkish-white flowers in spring. The plant
spreads to form a mat, by means of freely-produced
offsets, also a convenient means of propagation.

Haworthia retusa
This a species of flowering
plants of the genus Haworthia
endemic to a very small area around Riversdale, in the
Western Cape Province in South Africa.
Growing to 10 cm (3.9 in) tall and broad, it is a
perennial succulent with thick triangular leaves and
small white tubular flowers held in 50 cm (20 in) tall
racemes.
The genus name Haworthia honors the British botanist
Adrian Hardy Haworth (1767–1833), while the species
epitheton retusa derives from Latin and refers to the
"retused" leaf-shape. recurved shape of the leaves. The
upturned, recurved face of each leaf forms a triangle,
which is transparent (and often lined). The species can
be easily recognised by its leaf-top windows, which are
distinctively shiny.
Plants grow as tight rosettes of thick, firm, fleshy,
highly recurved/truncated leaves. It is usually a
solitary rosette in the wild. In cultivation it can
offset, and even form clumps.
This species is one of the "retuse" species of
Haworthia, meaning that it usually grows sunken beneath
the ground with its flattened leaves only showing on the
surface. Its rosette of succulent leaves are turned back
("retuse") so as to provide a flat and level face, on
the surface of the ground. In temperate regions it is
normally grown under glass as it does not survive
temperatures below freezing. In the UK it has gained the
Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit. |

Kalanchoe is a
genus of about 125 species of tropical, succulent
flowering plants in the family Crassulaceae, mainly
native to Madagascar and tropical Africa.
Most are shrubs or perennial herbaceous plants, but a
few are
annual or
biennial. The largest, Kalanchoe beharensis from
Madagascar, can
reach 6 m (20 ft) tall, but most species are
less than 1 m (3
ft) tall.
Kalanchoes are characterized by opening their flowers by
growing
new cells on the
inner surface of the petals to force them outwards,
and on the
outside of the petals to close them.
Kalanchoe flowers
are divided into 4 sections with 8 stamens.
The petals are
fused into a tube,
in a similar way
to some related genera such as Cotyledon.

Kalanchoe
tubiflora delagoensis
"Mother of Thousands"
This plant gets a lot of attention from visitors for its
architectural accents, its willingness to grow nearly
anywhere, and the ease with which the babies can be
pulled or scooped away where not wanted. They have to be
fairly large to bloom, and a large potful of them in
bloom can be spectacular.
Description: "Mother of Thousands" reproduces via
"plantlets" on that grow on the ends of each leaf & drop
off.... they fall into the dirt and grow from there.
They grow everywhere, don't need dirt, In optimal
conditions it grows as an annual/biannual and typically
grows to about 1 m before blooming in the winter. Plants
die back after blooming and new shoots can arise from
the roots.
Produces umbels of trumpet-shaped 2-3 cm long salmon to
scarlet flowers that dangle in clusters from the top of
the plant. They are very beautiful but hard to see.
Blooming season: Due to intense vegetative reproduction,
this plant rarely blooms. But well grown larger
specimens can flower profusely in winter, even with
little or no water. The flowers last about 5 weeks so it
is well worthwhile trying to get some |

Lithops

Is a genus of succulent plants in the ice plant family,
Aizoaceae. Members of the genus are native to southern
Africa. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words
λίθος (lithos), meaning "stone," and ὄψ (ops), meaning
"face," referring to the stone-like appearance of the
plants. They avoid being eaten by blending in with
surrounding rocks and are often known as pebble plants
or living stones. The formation of the name from the
Greek "-ops" means that even a single plant is called a
Lithops.

Lithops
is a genus of succulent plants in the ice plant family,
Aizoaceae. Members of the genus are native to southern

λίθος (lithos), meaning "stone," and ὄψ (ops), meaning
"face," referring to the stone-like appearance of the
plants. They avoid being eaten by blending in with
surrounding rocks and are often known as pebble plants
or living stones. The formation of the name from the
Greek "-ops" means that even a single plant is called a
Lithops.
Individual Lithops plants consist of one or more pairs
of bulbous, almost fused leaves opposite to each other
and hardly any stem.
Lithops hookeri.
Two new leaf pairs are emerging between the old one,
leading to a double-headed plant
The slit between the leaves contains the meristem and
produces flowers and new leaves.
The leaves of Lithops are mostly buried below the
surface of the soil, with a partially or completely
translucent top surface known as a leaf window which
allows light to enter the interior of the leaves for
photosynthesis.
Yellow or white flowers emerge from the fissure between
the leaves after the new leaf pair has fully matured,
one per leaf pair. This is usually in autumn, but can be
before the summer solstice in L. pseudotruncatella and
after the winter solstice in L. optica. The flowers are
often sweetly scented.
The most startling adaptation of Lithops is the
colouring of the leaves. The leaves are fenestrated, and
the epidermal windows are patterned in various shades of
cream, grey, and brown, with darker windowed areas,
dots, and red lines, according to species and local
conditions. The markings function as remarkable
camouflage for the plant in its typical stone-like
environment.
Lithops require pollination from a separate plant. Like
most mesembs, Lithops fruit is a dry capsule that opens
when it becomes wet; some seeds may be ejected by
falling raindrops, and the capsule re-closes when it
dries out.
Lithops occur naturally across wide areas of Namibia and
South Africa.

Mammillaria

The genus
Mammillaria is one of the largest in the cactus family
(Cactaceae), with currently 200 known species and
varieties recognized. Most of the mammillarias are
native to Mexico, but some come from the southwest
United States, the Caribbean, Colombia, Venezuela,
Guatemala and Honduras. The common name "pincushion
cactus" refers to this and the closely related genus
Escobaria.

Mammillaria elongata
(gold lace cactus,
ladyfinger cactus) is a species of flowering plant in
the Cactaceae family, native to central Mexico. Growing
to 15 cm (6 in) tall by 30 cm (12 in) wide, it consists
of densely packed clusters of elongated oval stems,
covered in harmless yellow or brown spines, and in
spring producing white or yellow flowers.
It is among the commonest and most variable of its genus
in nature, and is a popular subject for
cultivation.[1][2] It has gained the Royal Horticultural
Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Mammillaria gracilis
‘Arizona Snowcap’
‘Arizona Snowcap’ is a small cactus, up to 4 inches (10
cm) tall and up to 5 inches (12.5 cm) wide. The stems
are cylindrical, dark green, almost concealed by the
spines, up to 3.2 inches (8 cm) long and up to 1.2
inches (3 cm) in diameter, and branching profusely by
sides. Spines are short, white and thick. The flowers
are small, cream-yellow with pinkish or brownish
midstripe, up to 0.7 inch (17 mm) long and up to 0.5
inch (12 mm) wide.
To encourage better flowering, allow the plants to enjoy
a cooling period in the winter and suspend watering.
Unlike many other cacti, which use their ribs as storage
devices, the Mammillaria feature raised tubercles, from
which spines emerge. When you water, the tubercles will
expand to allow for increased water storage.
The flowers emerge from the axils of these tubercles on
the previous year’s growth, which accounts for their
interesting halo effect.
keep very dry winter and use a fertilizer during the
growing season for the best results.

Pachyveria

Plants do best in desert and
arid climates, and grow well in porous, well-drained
soil. They grow well in full sun, though prefer a bit of
shade in more sizzling heat of 92 and higher degrees
Fahrenheit (33 degrees Celsius). They are drought and
heat wave tolerant, but love lots of summer time water,
and hardy to around 30-35 degrees Fahrenheit (-1 to 1
degrees Celsius).

Moss Rose is easy to
grow. Grow Moss Rose plants in full sun. Plants prefer
average to poor soils. They prefer loose, sandy or loam
soil. A well draining composition is important.
Moss Rose plants are
drought and heat tolerant. In the flower garden,
watering is seldom needed. If growing in containers or
hanging pots, allow the soil to dry between
watering. Add a general purpose, high nitrogen
fertilizer when first planting, to help them to get a
good start. Add a high Phosphorous fertilizer just
before blooming. No other fertilizer applications should
be needed for the season. Moss Rose produce tough,
long lasting, rose-like blooms, in early summer. Pinch
or deadhead spent flowers to promote more blooms. Prune
plants to create a fuller, neater appearance. Provide
plenty of air circulation through the plant to help
avoid fungal disease. Plants are annuals that are very
susceptible to frost. Cover them up whenever cold
temperatures are expected

Vick’s VapoRub Plant is perfect for beginners! These
succulents would be ideal for both container gardening
(i.e hanging baskets, window boxes, etc..) and garden
beds. It is low maintenance and like all other
succulents, it is drought tolerant and doesn’t require
much water. Plus, the scent of the plant is known to
repel mosquitoes! Simply plant in well-draining soil in
full sun to partial shade. Be careful not to over water
them, which can turn the leaves yellow and mushy or lead
to stem rot. Allow the soil to dry between watering.
And yes, you can use the plant to help relieve
congestion when you are sick! Add the crushed leaves
into some hot water and inhale the steam. You should be
able to breathe easier afterwards!

Rhipsalis

is a genus of epiphytic cacti. They are typically known
as mistletoe cacti. The scientific name derives from the
Ancient Greek term for wickerwork, referring to the
plants'
Rhipsalis is found as an epiphyte in tropical
rainforests, some species may also grow epilithic or,
rarely, terrestrial.
found widely in Central America, parts of the Caribbean
and a great part of northern and central South America.
The center of diversity of Rhipsalis lies in the
rainforests of the Mata Atlantica in southeastern
Brazil.
It is found throughout the New World, but additionally
in tropical Africa, Madagascar and Sri Lanka. It is the
only cactus with a natural occurrence outside the New
World
|
|

Rhipsalis cereuscula
Rhipsalis mistletoe cactus is
also called chain cactus and grows epiphytically in its
tropical forest home.
The cactus has pencil thin succulent stems that may
reach 6 feet in length. The thick skin of the stems does
not produce thorns, but it does have almost
imperceptible bumps on the surface of the plant. These
plants are found clinging to tree crotches, in branch
nooks and nestled in rock crevasses. The Rhipsalis
mistletoe cactus is easy to grow and has very minimal
needs. It is perfect for the home interior in a northern
or western window. Mistletoe Cactus Mistletoe cacti are
easy to grow from cuttings. Seeds take way too long and
they require very even environmental conditions. Take
cuttings and let the severed end callus for a few days.
Plant the callused end in a cactus mix or sand that has
been lightly moistened. Cuttings root in two to six
weeks. The plant rarely needs fertilizing and has few
other needs except moderate light and even moisture.
Fertilize with a half dilution of cactus food from April
to September, once per month. Water frequently in spring
and summer, but suspend water in winter. If any of the
stems are damaged, you can trim them off with a sharp,
sterile knife. Use these as cuttings to start new
Rhipsalis mistletoe cactus.

Rhipsalis ewaldiana
Mistletoe Cactus Plant
An interesting cactus houseplant, mistletoe cactus is a
modern indoor plant that has a unique form thanks to its
trailing shape. A lush, full-grown plant looks like a
living Cousin It --- making it a fun addition to your
indoor decor as well as a conversation piece.
Because mistletoe cactus has trailing stems, you usually
see this houseplant sold in hanging baskets. They're a
great way to enliven a window.
Grow mistletoe cactus in low to medium light. It can
take a little direct sun indoors, especially in Northern
climates, but doesn't need bright sun to thrive. This
indoor plant thrives under artificial lighting, too.
Unlike most cacti, mistletoe cactus comes from tropical
rainforests rather than the desert. It typically grows
on trees rather than in soil. Because of that, it's best
to treat your mistletoe cactus a bit like an orchid and
allow the potting mix to dry a bit before watering
again. Take care not to overwater mistletoe cactus. If
you want to fertilize your mistletoe cactus, do so in
spring and summer using a general-purpose houseplant
fertilizer.
This modern indoor plant also prefers average to high
humidity, so it's an excellent choice for growing in
well-lit kitchens and bathrooms.

Sansevieria ehrenbergii
Sansevieria is a genus of about
70 species of flowering plants, native to Africa,
Madagascar and southern Asia.
Common names include mother-in-law's tongue, devil's
tongue, jinn's tongue, bow string hemp, snake plant and
snake tongue.
It is often included in the genus Dracaena; tropical
plants such as Sansevieria trifasciata. Plants often
form dense clumps from a spreading rhizome or stolons.
The leaves of Sansevieria are typically arranged in a
rosette around the growing point,
The flowers are usually greenish-white, also rose,
lilac-red,
Sansevieria can be propagated by seed, leaf cutting, and
division. Seeds are rarely used, as plants can normally
be grown much faster from cuttings or divisions. they
do not come true to type from leaf cuttings, and
therefore must be propagated by rhizome division to
retain the variegation.

Green Cockscomb
Sedum dendroideum subsp. praealtum, Sedum praealtum
subsp. praealtum
Sedum praealtum is a tall, tree-like succulent plant. It
can form a shrub up to 3 feet (90 cm) in height.
Spatulate leaves are shiny lime green, often with red
margins in bright light. The flowers are star-shaped and
yellow in color.
When growing Sedum, keep in mind that Sedum plants need
very little attention or care. They will thrive in
conditions that many other plants thrive in, but will do
just as well in less hospitable areas.
A common name for Sedum is Stonecrop, due to the fact
that many gardeners joke that only stones need less care
and live longer.
Sedum is easily planted. For shorter varieties, simply
laying the plant on the ground where you want it to grow
is normally enough to get the Sedum plant started there.
They will send out roots from wherever the stem is
touching the ground and root itself. If you would like
to further ensure that the plant will start there, you
can add a very thin covering of soil over the plant. For
taller Sedum varieties, you can break off one of the
stems and push it into the ground where you would like
to grow it.

is a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in
the Crassulaceae family, commonly known as houseleeks.
Other common names include liveforever (the source of
the taxonomical designation Sempervivum, literally
"always/forever alive") and hen and chicks, a name
shared with plants of other genera as well. They are
succulent perennials forming mats composed of tufted
leaves in rosettes. In favourable conditions they spread
rapidly via offsets, and several species are valued in
cultivation as groundcover for dry, sunny locations.
Houseleeks exist from Morocco to Iran, through the
mountains of Iberia, the Alps, Carpathians, Balkan
mountains, Turkey, the Armenian mountains, in the
northeastern part of the Sahara Desert, and the
Caucasus. Their ability to store water in their thick
leaves allows them to live on sunny rocks and stony
places in the mountain, subalpine and alpine belts. Most

Sempervivium calcareum
Sempervivum are
very low-maintenance plants that require almost no
attention. They can be left outdoors to spread of their
own accord in a rock garden or sandy area, and they can
even be grown on a roof or chimney side. Sempervivumdoes
well inside as long as its placed
in bright sunlight. They only grow to a height of about
4 inches, but quickly spread to a width of about 3 feet,
making them ideal as a ground cover in a dry area. Sempervivums are
fond of a sunny location but partial shade is also fine.
Take into account that a Sempervivum needs
at least half a day (4-6 hours) of sunlight. Too much
shade results in dull colours and the plants become
spindly. Make sure you plant them in free-draining soil
because Sempervivums dislike
excessive moisture. Stony ground ensures good drainage.
In its natural state, Sempervivum grows
mainly in very poor soil.

Sempervivum arachnoideum
L. Origin:
Mountain of Europe from the Pyrenees to
the Carpathians where many variations occur naturally.
Common Names include: Cobweb Houseleek, Hens & ChicksEtymology:
Its name arachnoideum refers
to toarachnoids, or spiders
for its furry central rosettes, resembling spider webs.
Cultivation: Always an interesting plant and relatively
easy to grow in container or in the rock garden
but resents winter wet. The 'cobweb' catches and holds
the rain so that rot is likely to set in. Frost
Tolerance: Hardy at least to -12°C (or less). After the
plant blooms and sets seed it will die, but there will
be many offsets to take its place. It need full sun to
light shade and tolerates shade, but a sunny spot is
nicest, though in warmer climates it needs protection
from too much sun because it is not very heat tolerant.
Require a well drained succulent soil mix. It takes
little water & could rot if watered too often. During
the growing season, the plants are watered and allowed
to dry slightly before watering again. Although they can
take a great deal of drought, they seem to do better
with regular (but moderated) watering. During the winter
months, plants are watered very little.

Senecio serpens
is a small, evergreen, succulent
perennial, branching from the base and rooting along the
stems, up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall and up to 40 inches
(1 m) wide. The prostrate stems hold short,
sub-cylindrical, powdery blue-grey to blue-green
finger-like fleshy leaves. The small flowers are white
in color.
Senecio serpens
from 25 °F (−3.9 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C).
Established plants are extremely drought tolerant. They
do need some water, during the summer, but do not leave
the soil wet for prolonged periods. Allow the soil to
dry out between waterings in the winter, when they are
somewhat dormant. Since they are growing in sandy soil,
nutrients will need to be replenished. Fertilize
annually, but lightly. Too much fertilizer will cause a
lot of leggy growth.
Taller varieties can get floppy. You can prune them back
to where the stem is firm, in very early spring. You can
even root the cuttings.
Plants can be divided or repotted in early spring. If
you are growing them in containers, they enjoy spending
the summer outdoors. Wait until there is no danger of
frost and move them back indoors in the winter

of the Senecio genus that grows in South Africa
Its first description was written by Adrian Hardy
Haworth,
The leaves are remarkably densely felted, so much so
that the felt can be stripped off, dried, and used as
tinder. The plant is accordingly called "tontelbos" in
Afrikaans. The word means "tinder bush". Though its
flowers are nothing special to look at, the plant is
striking, easily grown, and fairly attractive; a plucked
stem, or even a leaf, can be stuck into warm,or even
ot-too-dry earth, where it will strike root without
special attention. Like most Richtersveld plants it does
not do well in wet soil, but is not in general a
demanding garden subject. Senecio haworthii needs
well-drained sandy loams, little water and full sun. |
