£5.50£10.00

SKU: N/A Category:

Beautiful, textured succulent that is native to Brazil and makes a fantastic accent for a  terrarium or vivarium plant, as it loves humidity and grows at a relatively slow pace so won’t overpower. Also makes for a very beautiful trailing houseplant. You will receive a pair of plants that is of a similar size and age to that shown in their individual photos.

Care

This plant can be slightly difficult to get setup, but once it takes the reults are more than worth it.

As a semi-succulent, it’s root network is very small. Rooted cuttings should be handled with upmost care and placed in a moist but well-draining soil mix that will retain moisture but allow the excess to drain away.

Humidity will also help this plant stay fresh and happy so it is advised to mist the plant regularly/group it with other plants/place in a humid room/pebble tray with water, as with other tropical plants.

It is recommended to keep this plant above 15c or it will begin to show signs of stress.
