HAWORTHIA AND SUCCULENT AUCTION



This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

This undescribed Euphorbia species from the Addo district in the Eastern Cape Province has green involucre glands and a long tap root similar to many medusa-head Euporbias.

Side-shoots are produced freely with age.

The cultivation of this Euphorbia has so far proved non-complicated. The plants are drought resistant and probably will not take well to frequent watering.
