THIS PLANT IS ON C.I.T.E.S. AND CANNOT BE EXPORTED
This fast growing Madagascan pachycaul is the largest of the rutenbergianum group and the most southerly in range. Clusters of violet/white flowers appear in spring before the plant comes out of dormancy. A tree-like pachycaul that is suitable for landscape use. Our plants are seed grown.
Alluaudia dumosa
1420
For lovers of weird, a nearly leafless, shrub-like member of the Didiereaceae that can reach nearly 10 feet tall but grows in a rather haphazard clump of tangled branches. The cylindrical stems are kind of olive green with silver tricomes and bears scattered conical spines which are stout but not ‘dangerous’.
Native to southern coastal Madagascar in the regions of the thorn forest from near sea level to almost 1,000 feet. A dioecious species that requires both sexes to set seed, but is easily propagated from cuttings. Reportedly slow growing but we do not find this to be especially true. Best grown in full sun to partial shade, well drained soils and moderate watering. Protect from freezing.
Senecio pendulus 'Inchworm plant'
4144
AKA the ‘Inchworm Plant.’ A caulescent species from the Arabian Peninsula with rounded, segmented stems that undulate along the ground surface, rooting at internodes. Bright crimson flowers. Makes an interesting hanging pot. Segments break off very easily, so in shipping this often happens. They can be laid out on the surface of a pot of soil, slightly nested into the media, and they will root in a short time to form a new plant.
The plant arrived in good condition considering it was delivered by the USPS. Glad you packaged it as well as you did. The plant was a bit smaller than the non flowering picture of the plant for sale on your website. Hopefully it will continue to grow well.
I had one of these years ago. It never blomed, I hope this one will bloom.
A nice healthy plant!!
Thanks!

A Gasteria x Aloe hybrid, but the exact cross we do not know. About 5 inch rosettes are dark green with a gray wash, white spots with tubercles and whitish margins on the tapering leaves. Pretty, easy and a clumping plant.
Dyckia 'California'

A hybrid from Bill Baker. Compact growth from of glossy burgundy leaves that are recurved. Has distinct white marginal spines. The rosette is up to 8 inches across at maturity. Grows best in full sun.
Pachypodium rosulatum v. gracilius
1500
A great form with a very fat caudex, slender, spiny branches and deep green leaves with a white mid-vein. The caudex is spineless, with a very nice shape. A very floriferous form with clusters of yellow flowers on long peduncles. This variety of rosulatum comes from the highlands of southern, central Madagascar.
Pachypodiums go dormant in winter and lose their leaves. Do not be alarmed by this natural leaf drop.

I've ordered three? Pachypodiums from Tropiflora. Compared to the others this one was small. Looks to be a seedling. It arrived in fantastic shape. The packing is top notch, very little medium escaped the pot in transit. So yeah, I get to watch it put on size which is gratifying.
Pachypodium rosulatum v. gracilius
Aloe dorotheae x juvenna

C.I.T.E.S. - Sorry, no export.
A smaller hybrid that has decorative foliage, large teeth that are not sharp but are more rubbery, tapering, triangular leaves to about 3 inches long and a procumbent habit. The foliage is green, but blushes orange to red in strong light. The inflorescence bears red flowers. A choice plant, easy to grow.

A native to Southern Madagascar. Alluaudia humbertii is a deciduous, succulent, small tree or large shrub native to semi-arid scrubland and thorn forests.

Would love to see more succulents liated...
Agave bracteosa
3121
A cliff dwelling lithophyte native to the Chihuahuan Desert, our plants are from seed collected in Sta. Catarina, Nuevo Leon. Sometimes called the octopus Agave, because of its sinuous and curled, spineless, narrow leaves. An unusual aspect of this species is that it does not immediately die like most Agave species, after flowering. Eventually forms clusters of plants, attractive with their pale green leaves. Suited for full sun to partial shade. Needs good drainage.
