C.I.T.E.S. - NO EXPORT

A member of the Didiereacea, signature plants of the Madagascan xeric forests. Few plants are better adapted to growth in desert-like conditions than the Alluaudia. The semi-succulent, ovate leaves are reduced to about a quarter inch and grow subsessile and vertical in spirals around the spiny trunks. The trunk is silvery-green and heavily spined. The spines are used for defense and to gather moisture from the frequent fogs. The appeal for hobbyists is a handsome yet highly unusual plant that thrives well in container cultivation. If left untrimmed, it can reach several feet tall in a relative short time, but is suitable for even limited space as the growth is mostly vertical. We have nice rooted cuttings about a foot tall, some branched that will be sent bare-root out of beds. No special care is necessary. Treat as any succulent.
