A pachycaul native to Madagascar where it attains tree-like dimensions. In cultivation it responds to pot size and will remain dwarfed if kept in smaller containers. The silvery trunk is thick and covered with heavy spines and is crowned with light green, six to ten inch leaves. Very easy to cultivate and useful in xeriscaping in frost free areas. Makes a good house plant, and often goes by the name of 'Madagascar Palm' but of course, it is not palm at all. 

Note: Pachypodiums go dormant in winter and lose their leaves. Do not be alarmed by this natural leaf drop.

Formerly Crassula sarmentosa variegated, this cultivar has a scrambling growth habit and is a great choice for a hanging basket. The plant has reddish stems which carry oval green serrated leaves with creamy yellow margins that will turn pinkish red in strong light. Colorful and easy.

Senecio peregrinus is popularly known as the 'String of Dolphins' plant. Although constantly labelled as a species, this plant is really a hybrid between Senecio rowleyanus 'String of Pearls' and Senecio articulatus. The leaves are curved with two points midway down the leaf which gives the appearance of a dolphin. This plant has a pendant, trailing habit with white flowers from May to June. 

This plant prefers bright filtered light, keeping it on the dry side. If the temperature drops below 50 degrees, bring it inside! It is not cold hardy. 

A unique addition to any succulent collection.
