Plants
This section of the shop is dedicated to those products of which more specimens are available for purchase. For this reason, the photograph associated with each one is only an example and not an exact sale item, even if it is usually a specimen selected from those offered, or images of the mother plants from which it derives, and in this case the caption on the image specifies that it is just an example. These images therefore faithfully represent what the customer buys.
In addition to the photographic image, each species is accompanied by a short description of its salient features. We did not consider it necessary to insert the botanical description of each product, of which there are abundant references on the internet, as well as detailed information on its cultivation. This information, albeit of an indicative nature, will be provided on the pages dedicated to each single genus or category which can be accessed by selecting the navigation icons above this text.

Crassula deceptor
One of the most interesting species for its compact stems, with a quadrangular section, formed by closely embricate leaves, white in color due to the thick waxy secretion that covers the cuticle. This shape has a smooth and uniform surface. The leaves are sharp at their apex. Very slow growth, to be kept in shape by avoiding the use of organic soils. Learn More -
Crassula deceptor
SW Hankey, RSA.
Perhaps the most beautiful form of this species found on the market, due to its compact shape and the finely pitted, ash-white epidermis. The tiny flowers appear in winter and are yellow in colour. The growth is very slow. Learn More -
Crassula brevifolia
Small plant that branches abundantly. In the cold the leaves take on a beautiful red color.
Avoid excessive fertilization and watering to give the plant a nice compact shape.
It grows preferably in autumn and winter. Learn More -
Crassula biplanata aff.
Grootrivierpoort, Eastern cape, RSA.
Interesting for the thin but robust stems, richly branched and reddish in color, and for the fleshy leaves, small and covered with white bloom. The top of these stems breaks if accidentally bumped, to fall to the ground where it takes root and gives life to a new plant. It grows slowly, mainly in autumn-winter. It's flowers are elongated, white in colour. Learn More -
Coleocephalocereus aureus
Once known as Buiningia, it is a rare Brazilian cactus that produces a long bristly beard on the side (cephalium) from which the flowers sprout. The cephalium is always exposed to the south. Delicate in youth, when it reaches the age to bloom it is more robust and adaptable. Cultivation in peat-based substrates should be avoided. Learn More -
Cochemiea poselgeri
interesting for the large zygomorphic red flowers, from which a long pistil emerges, which is also red as are the stamens. The stem is columnar and over time takes on a creeping or decumbent shape. Learn More -
Ceraria namaquensis
Today called Portulacaria namaquensis these plants are widespread in Namibia where they grow among the quartzite rocks in conditions of strong summer dryness which causes them to stop the vegetation. Growth is mainly winter. These are plants that are difficult to grow on their roots, so much so that the use of keeping them always grafted on Portulacaria afra, a species akin to it and much less demanding. It resists down to just under 0 °C. Learn More -
Ceraria fruticulosa
South African plant interesting for its coral-colored stems adorned with small rounded succulent leaves and for its tiny, dark pink flowers. Sturdy and adaptable, over the years it develops a voluminous caudex at the base of the stem. Learn More -
