Cheiridopsis Namaquensis- Exotic Rare Succulent Live Plant

Product details

Cheiridopsis Namaquensis is known to be a beautiful succulent that is only able to reach up to 10 cm (4′′) tall and around 20 cm (8′′) in diameter. As the epithet indicates, this species is from Namaqualand in South Africa. The leaves of this plant tend to elongate from the typical compact form in habitat, and the paired leaves that resemble scissors are gray-green with a nearly rugose surface. When the plant flowers you can expect it to produce gold to dark yellow flowers.

They, like other cheiridopsis, need a fast-draining, gritty soil mix that is airy and allows for the roots to rapidly dry out. While they do best with regular winter water, it should be balanced with how cold the air temperatures are. I watered mine well when the temperatures were above 70 during the day, but let them stay dry if the weather cooled off.

Compared to the other cheiridopsis in my collection, these seem easier, particularly to encourage them to bloom. Provide plenty of morning sunlight (or late afternoon), and keep them shaded for the hottest part of the day.
