Gonialoe variegata (syn. Aloe variegata)

Gonialoe variegata (syn. Aloe variegata), also known as tiger aloe or partridge-breasted aloe, it's a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae. It is an evergreen succulent perennial indigenous to South Africa and Namibia.
Plants grow to around 20–30 cm, new leaves appear individually over time from the centre of the plant, flattening older leaves and pushing them outward in a spiral fashion. Each leaf is a rich green colour with irregular light green banding made up of amalgamated, slightly raised oval spots, and similarly light coloured fine serrations along each edge. In mature plants the outer, and thus oldest, leaves are 10–15 cm long and approximately 3–6 cm broad at the base. Depending on trauma, space, water availability or even old age, outer leaves will die off, turning golden brown and they shrivel away.

Plants reach maturity in three to seven years, again largely dependent on the space, sunlight and water available, at which point they will begin to send out racemes of flowers. Flowers develop in a cluster at the head of the raceme and are spaced out by its rapid elongation.

The flowers are orange, arranged in a raceme of around 20–30 cm in height. In its natural habitat in southern Africa, flowers are produced from July to September, with offsets being readily formed.
The tiger aloe is indigenous to the arid Karoo region of southern Africa.
 

This lovely plant is an Aloe, Gasteria hybrid, its parents are Aloe haworthiodes and Gasteria Crinata, it has dark green leaves with small white marks, its very slow growing but can grow 12 inches high and 12 inches wide. 

Alworthia 'Black Gem'

Alworthia 'Black Gem' often listed as an Aloe, it is a bit of a horticultural oddity, it is a bi-generic hybrid between Aloe speciosa and Haworthia cymiformis.
It produces lots of tight offsets, creating a large low clump, it has thick triangular-conical leaves which change colour from green through to dark reddish-bronzy purple colour becoming darker and more red the more sun it gets.
Can be grown outside in the uk in the summer, but this lovely plant is not hardy so may have to be brought indoors for the winter.

Flowers can take up to 10 years to produce and sometimes longer

Agave lophantha goshiki bandai

This lovely Agave is solitary, slow clump forming rosette succulent grows up to 40 cm tall and 60 cm in diameter, it is variegated with four distinct colours.

Origin: Mexico: Plateau near El Paso

It is a relatively easy-to-grow species. best suited for light shade to full sun, but would be better with some shade in summer.

Looks great in containers or in the ground but does need a very well-drained soil.
It grows fairly fast in summer if provided with copious water, but allow to dry thoroughly before watering again (the more water and fertilizer this plant gets, the faster it will grow). During the winter months, one should only water enough to keep the leaves from shrivelling.
It is frost tolerant to -5° C, but it is best to avoid freezing temperatures.
Remove suckers to show off the beauty and form of the individual rosette.
Propagation is by suckers, which often are found growing around the base of the plant, Remove the basal suckers (if available) in spring or summer and let the cuttings dry for a few days before inserting into well drained compost.

Anacampserscens rufescens

Anacampserscens rufescens is a slow creeping, small succulent, it grows up to 4 inches tall. the leaves are olive green, but in sunlight, they become reddish-brown to purple. They have white hairs between the leaves which are an ingenious way to help it survive droughts by trapping water vapour from the air. The plant spreads outwards and forms a low clump which develops a thick caudex-like base from which smaller roots serve as an anchor into the soil. Flowers are spectacular pink to rose-purple up to 4 inches tall in spring.
 

Perhaps the most common plant seen under this name is actually Aptenia 'Red Apple', a hybrid with red flowers and bright green leaves, whose parents are A. cordifolia and A. (Platythyra) haeckeliana. 
This is a mat-forming perennial herb growing in flat clumps on the ground from a woody base. Stems reach up to about 60cm long. The bright green leaves are generally heart-shaped and up to 3cm long. They are covered in very fine bumps. Bright pink to purplish flowers appear in the leaf axils and are open during the day. The fruit is a capsule just over a centimetre long.

 also called mother-of-millions, mother-of-thousands, alligator plant, or Mexican hat plant is a succulent plant native to Madagascar. Like other members of its genus Bryophyllum, it is able to propagate vegetatively from plantlets that develop on its phylloclade margins. All parts of the plant are poisonous (they contain daigremontianin and other bufadienolides)which can even be fatal if ingested by infants or small pets. Bryophyllum daigremontianum has an umbrella-like terminal inflorescence (a compound cyme) of small bell-shaped, greyish pink (or sometimes orange) flowers. Flowering is, however, not an annual event and occurs sporadically if at all on some shoots.  
As a succulent plant, B. daigremontianum can survive prolonged periods of drought with little or no water. It is however not frost-hardy and typically dies if subjected to temperatures below freezing.

used to make a type of soap.

Cotyledon is one of some 35 genera of succulent plants in the family Crassulaceae. Mostly from Southern Africa, they also occur throughout the drier parts of Africa as far north as the Arabian Peninsula. Ten of its species are mostly confined to South Africa, where unlike Tylecodon, they occur commonly in both the winter and summer rainfall regions. They may be found on coastal flats and rocky hillsides, or as cremnophytes on cliff faces. Their decussate, evergreen leaves are very variable in shape, even within some species, but the flowers are, apart from colour, very similar.
 

Cotyledon orbiculata

Origin South African
Cotyledon orbiculata, also known as pig's ear.
There are five varieties of the Cotyledon orbiculata, they differ in shape and colour, the flowers also differ on each different variety in shape and size, The shape is also influenced by the immediate environment. Cotyledon Obiculata grows to approximately 4.3 ft in height, you can train them to grow outwards and produce a very sculptural/interesting shaped plant. It has grey-green, almost white leaves which is coated with a white powdery substance this helps to reflect sunlight and conserve water, they are thick leaves with a red outline.
The bell-shaped flowers are orange-red and hang down from a tall stalk.

You can propagate by leaf cutting, which will take root but don't let it get too wet, as it may rot.

This plant, in Africa helps with the treatment of warts

Cassula barklyi

This plant is a dwarf clumping succulent which can grow to 10 inches tall, it has fleshy green leaves with red tips, it is prone to mealy bug but if looked after can be an amazing addition to your collection

February there is so little light that the plant hardly needs any water. Maybe once or twice in this period you can put the plant on a dish with some water on it, so that only the bottom part of the pot will absorb some water. This should be sufficient.
Please do not water the plant as much as during the rest of the year 

These sweet succulents have tall red stem white flowers, they look great in pots if they break off they can root from fallen pieces, leaves turn red when under stress which makes the plant even more impressive

common name Jade Necklace or Chinese Pagoda, is a species of succulent in the genus Crassula belonging to the family Crassulaceae.

  a slow-growing small plant reaching a height of 15–20 cm. The thick rounded leaves are green with red edges. They are tightly stacked along the stem and store water, as they are covered with a cuticle to limit the evaporation. An inflorescence with small star-shaped pink-tinged flowers may appear on mature plants in winter if they are given proper conditions of temperature. This plant prefers direct light and as a houseplant is very easy to maintain.
This species is native to South Africa, Lesotho and Swaziland.

Crassula Sarcocaulis easy to grow, but they are susceptible to mealy bugs and fungal diseases. As with all succulents, over watering is sure to be fatal, so err on the side of too dry rather than too wet. Never let your Crassula sit in water. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour off any excess water after a few minutes.
the flowers do have a strange smell.
We have these gorgeous little tree type succulents growing in our garden and they have survived 3 years of cold winters and are striving but you can easy Bonsai these succulents and train into strange and wonderful shapes.

  

Crassula Tetragona

is a succulent plant native to Southern Africa. It is popularly named the "miniature pine tree" among ornamental plant enthusiasts, for its popular use as a "pine tree" in Bonsai.

The plant is erect or spreads shrub less to 1 m (3 ft). Leaves are green to dark green in color with white flowers that come up in summer. used as a remedy for diarrhoea.
The plant requires a reasonable amount of water; more water is needed if flower buds are present. Most species prefer full sun, although some sub-species could be sensitive to too much sun. The plant is resistant to frost, but temperatures above 40 °F (4 °C) (6C) are best. The plant may be propagated from leaves and cuttings. It does not suffer from pests, other than the occasional mealy bug.
 

known by the common names airplane plant and propeller plant, is a succulent plant endemic to South Africa, from the Cape of Good Hope. The foliage is gray-green with striking texture, on plants that grow to 2 feet (0.61 m) tall. The flowers are tiny and scarlet red, that rise in dense clusters above the foliage for a month in summer.      

This succulent has fleshy green leaves that are densely packed around a thin stem, and the arrangement of the leaves around the stems gives them a square shape. It grows as an intricate bush with bright pink flowers, with a maximum height of 15-20 cm.
Lovely clusters of starry, light pink flowers appear in winter and contrast nicely with the small, dense, mounded silver foliage, it is very showy and one of the best Crassulas for pink flowers, a beauty!!!

("dewflowers") is a genus of succulent plants in the ice plant family native southern Africa.  
The name Drosanthemum means "Dew-flower" in Greek, and refers to the characteristic shiny translucent papillae, which cover the succulent leaves and flower buds 

Drosanthemum micans
Drosanthemum paxianum
Drosanthemum speciosum

This species of flowering plant in the Crassulaceae family, native to rocky areas of Mexico,
E. agavoides is a stemless succulent plant, 8–12 cm (3–5 in) tall, with a rosette of leaves 7–15 cm (3–6 in) in diameter. It is often solitary, but old plants in good condition grow offsets. The leaves are green, triangular, thicker (6 mm) and more acute than the other echeverias - hence the explanation of their name agavoides, "looking like an agave". Some varieties with bright light have reddish (or bronze) tips and some forms have slightly red to very red margins. The inflorescences in summer appear on slender, single-sided cymes up to 50 cm (20 in) long. The flowers are pink, orange or red, the petals tipped with dark yellow
As with most echeverias, E. agavoides fears moisture and prefers mineral soils, growing best in light and even direct sunshine, which aids flowering. In order to flower, plants need rest in the winter, without water and in a cold place - but not less than 5 °C (41 °F). In temperate regions they must be kept indoors during winter, but may be placed outside during the summer months
Many hybrids have been created to obtain more brightly coloured flowers or leaves.
The easiest methods of propagation are leaf cuttings and division of older plants.

is a beautiful succulent that has interestingly coloured acuminate leaves that are a pale greyish brown with pink highlights and have a white powdery dusting. The leaves overlap in solitary, up to 6 inches (15 cm) wide rosettes. The flowers are corral pink in colour on the exterior with a yellow interior and appear in summer on 1 foot (30 cm) long reddish-stemmed inflorescences.

How to Grow and Care
Most of the common Echeveria species are not complicated succulents to grow, provided you follow a few basic rules. First, be careful never to let water sit in the rosette as it can cause rot or fungal diseases that will kill the plant. Additionally, remove dead leaves from the bottom of the plant as it grows. These dead leaves provide a haven for pests, and Echeveria are susceptible to mealy bugs. As with all succulents, careful watering habits and plenty of light will help ensure success. Most Echeveria can be easily propagated from leaf cuttings.
Re-pot as needed, preferably during the warm season. To re-pot a succulent, make sure the soil is dry before re-potting, then gently remove the pot. Knock away the old soil from the roots, making sure to remove any rotted or dead roots in the process…

Tight rosettes of flat grey-green leaves that when mature, form offsets freely to produce large solid clumps. It has a branched arching inflorescence bearing clusters of red and yellow flowers in the spring and early summer. Ideal Conditions: Prefers full sun, or partial shade with free-draining soil or compost. Possible Situation: Perfectly suited for planting in gravel gardens, paved areas, rockeries and small containers.

If contact is made with this white sap, take care to not touch face or eyes before washing hands with soap and water. Responds well to warmth, with its active growth period in the late spring and summer months. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Requires bright light for best appearance, and should be given a winter resting period at which time less water should be given. Protect from frost.
 

Euphorbia Obesa

Origin Eastern Cape Africa

Common names Sea Urchin, Baseball and Vetmensie

Euphorbia Obesa is a rare plant due to over-collecting and plant exporters which almost resulted in becoming extinct in the wild. Today it is protected by national (nature conservation) and international (CITES) legislation.

Also known as Green Coral or the medusa plant because its snake like arms, an unusual succulent that would be a talking point of your collection

is the currently recognised species in this genus is Each leaf has a epidermal window, a transparent window-like area, at its rounded tip, it is for these window-like structures that the genus is named (Latin: fenestra).

F. rhopalophylla appears very similar to Frithia pulchra, though the leaves are a slightly different shape and F. rhopalophylla has yellow flowers, compared to the pink flowers of F. pulchra.
In the wild, the plant commonly grows under sand, except for the transparent tips, which allow light into the leaves for photosynthesis.
The plant produces optical fibers made from crystalline Oxalic acid which transmit light to subterranean photosynthetic sites.
native to Namaqualand in southern Africa and to Namibia. The plants generally grow in sandy or calciferous soils under low < 100 mm rainfall, that occurs in the winter.

This plant starts off hemispherical, later elongated, they grow close to the ground, they produce babies with age.  The flowers are large and a beautiful deep orange which forms at the base of the stems

Gasteraloe (also known as × Gastrolea) is a genus of hybrid plants, from mixtures of species from the Aloe or Aristaloe and Gasteria genera.

× Gasteraloe hybrids are typically stemless or almost stemless. Their succulent leaves, which are usually spotted or marked and have toothed margins, form rosettes.

Gonialoe variegata and Aristaloe aristata are especially commonly used for these hybrids, as they are far more amenable to hybridization with gasterias than most other "aloes".

Pachyphytum is a genus native to Mexico and a close relative of Echeveria and Sedum.

'Fred Ives' is a pretty cross between Graptopetalum paraguayense and Echeveria gibbiflora. frost free Light Aspect. Part Shade, Full Sun, Full Sun Windowsill. good in Pot, Wall, Rockery, Garden, Windowsill, Conservatory.
Spread & Height. Medium.

Silver Star
Graptopetalum filiferum x Echeveria agavoides ‘Multifida’.
Eventually forming a 4in rosette, the closely spiralled leaves are silvery green and each is tipped with a pinkish bristle.

This succulent has compact, Echeveria-like rosettes with a unique, orangish-pink colour.
Long-cultivated and more widely-distributed than most of the hybrids made by Robert Grim, The rosettes are at the tips of eventually decumbent stems, which can simply be cut back and restarted to maintain a more compact plant. New growth is a greyish-green but soon takes on its distinctive coloration that is enhanced by drought as well as cool winter temperatures. The durability and grayish new leaves of this hybrid are imparted by Graptopetalum paraguayense. The pastel coloration and white flowers come from the other parent, S. adophi, another durable Mexican succulent in the Crassulaceae.

This is a beautiful succulent with blue, green powdery leaves, stemless rosette.  Flowers have 5 petals that slightly curl back on the end they are on long stems, a very pretty succulent

This is a Hybrid it can easily be confused with G. 'Victor Kane' difference is the red freckles on the petals of Purple Haze are less pronounced and thinner and the leaves are slightly glossy

commonly called chin cactus, is a genus of about 70 South American species of cactus. The genus name Gymnocalycium (from Greek, "naked calyx") refers to the flower buds bearing no hair or spines.

Their main area of distribution is Argentina, part of Uruguay, Paraguay, southern Bolivia and part of Brazil.
Most species are rather small varying from 4 to 15 centimetres in size. In cultivation they are popular for their easy flowering habits, and the flowers are generally brightly coloured. Where temperatures fall below 10 °C (50 °F) they must be cultivated under glass with heat.

Haworthiopsis is a large genus of small succulent plants endemic to Southern Africa  and they generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers, which are distinctive in appearance. Horticulturally they are popular garden and container plants.
Haworthiopsis are small succulent plants, forming rosettes of leaves from 3 cm (1.2 in) to exceptionally 30 cm (12 in) in diameter, depending on the species. These rosettes are usually stemless but in some species stems reach up to 50 cm (20 in). The inflorescences of some species may exceed 40 cm (16 in) in height. The plants can grow solitary or can be clump-forming. Many species have firm, tough, fleshy leaves, usually dark green in colour, whereas others are softer and contain leaf windows with translucent panels through which sunlight can reach internal photosynthetic tissues. Their flowers are small, and generally white. Though they are very similar between species, flowers from the species in hexangulares generally have green striations and those from other species often have brown lines in the flowers. However, their leaves show wide variations even within one species. Additionally, when the plants are stressed (e.g deprived of water), their colours can change to reds and purples. Depriving them of nitrogen generally results in paler leaves.

Same as above but has brown, yellow variegation on the leaves

formerly Haworthia reinwardtii,
is a species of succulent flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae, native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. It is one of the species of Haworthiopsis that is commonly cultivated as an ornamental.


H. reinwardtii has typical thin, strongly tubercled leaves
It is a perennial succulent, with stems growing to 20 cm (8 in)in height, with a basal rosette of white-spotted fleshy leaves arranged in a spiral pattern, and racemes of tubular pinkish-white flowers in spring. The plant spreads to form a mat, by means of freely-produced offsets, also a convenient means of propagation.

 

This a species of flowering plants of the genus Haworthia
endemic to a very small area around Riversdale, in the Western Cape Province in South Africa.
Growing to 10 cm (3.9 in) tall and broad, it is a perennial succulent with thick triangular leaves and small white tubular flowers held in 50 cm (20 in) tall racemes.

The genus name Haworthia honors the British botanist Adrian Hardy Haworth (1767–1833), while the species epitheton retusa derives from Latin and refers to the "retused" leaf-shape. recurved shape of the leaves. The upturned, recurved face of each leaf forms a triangle, which is transparent (and often lined). The species can be easily recognised by its leaf-top windows, which are distinctively shiny.

Plants grow as tight rosettes of thick, firm, fleshy, highly recurved/truncated leaves. It is usually a solitary rosette in the wild. In cultivation it can offset, and even form clumps.
This species is one of the "retuse" species of Haworthia, meaning that it usually grows sunken beneath the ground with its flattened leaves only showing on the surface. Its rosette of succulent leaves are turned back ("retuse") so as to provide a flat and level face, on the surface of the ground. In temperate regions it is normally grown under glass as it does not survive temperatures below freezing. In the UK it has gained the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit.

Rosette of Triangular green leaves that can flush copper to magenta when stressed, this could be by bright sunlight or drought.  The tops of the leaves have mosaic, transluscent 'leaf windows', this helps the plant with low low light conditions. These plants are excellent first plants for beginners

"Mother of Thousands"
This plant gets a lot of attention from visitors for its architectural accents, its willingness to grow nearly anywhere, and the ease with which the babies can be pulled or scooped away where not wanted. They have to be fairly large to bloom, and a large potful of them in bloom can be spectacular. 
 Description: "Mother of Thousands" reproduces via "plantlets" on that grow on the ends of each leaf & drop off.... they fall into the dirt and grow from there. They grow everywhere, don't need dirt,   In optimal conditions it grows as an annual/biannual and typically grows to about 1 m before blooming in the winter. Plants die back after blooming and new shoots can arise from the roots.

Produces umbels of trumpet-shaped 2-3 cm long salmon to scarlet flowers that dangle in clusters from the top of the plant. They are very beautiful but hard to see.
Blooming season: Due to intense vegetative reproduction, this plant rarely blooms. But well grown larger specimens can flower profusely in winter, even with little or no water. The flowers last about 5 weeks so it is well worthwhile trying to get some

Flower dust plant
is a species of flowering plant in the family Crassulaceae, native to Madagascar. It is a spreading, dwarf succulent subshrub growing to 20 cm (8 in) tall and 45 cm (18 in) wide, with arching stems of frosted leaves, and clusters of purple-veined pink flowers in spring. As the minimum temperature for cultivation is 12 °C (54 °F), in temperate regions it is grown under glass as a houseplant.
The Latin specific epithet pumila means dwarf or low-growing.
This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
 

This is a frequently cultivated and a rewarding plant. It is easily propagated from seed or cuttings and needs a sunny position. Seed can be sown at any time of the year in shallow trays in a sandy mixture and germination is within 3 weeks. Cuttings are best planted during the summer months. The plants are short-lived and are best replaced every 3 years. Lampranthus roseus prefers a sunny, well-drained slope. The plants thrive in rockeries or containers in a sunny position. Plants are subject to downy mildew and should be sprayed with Ridomil from midwinter to just before flowering.

Lampranthus spectabilis

 

 Also placed in Mesembryanthemaceae Lampranthus spectabilis  Common name

 Plants creeping. Flowers red, pink or white ca. 5-8cm across, flowering in all seasons (mainly in Spring to Summer). Perennial plants.

Is a genus of succulent plants in the ice plant family, Aizoaceae. Members of the genus are native to southern Africa. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words λίθος (lithos), meaning "stone," and ὄψ (ops), meaning "face," referring to the stone-like appearance of the plants. They avoid being eaten by blending in with surrounding rocks and are often known as pebble plants or living stones. The formation of the name from the Greek "-ops" means that even a single plant is called a Lithops.

They avoid being eaten by blending in with surrounding rocks and are often known as pebble plants or living stones. The formation of the name from the Greek "-ops" means that even a single plant is called a Lithops.

Individual Lithops plants consist of one or more pairs of bulbous, almost fused leaves opposite to each other and hardly any stem.

Lithops hookeri.
Two new leaf pairs are emerging between the old one, leading to a double-headed plant
The slit between the leaves contains the meristem and produces flowers and new leaves.
The leaves of Lithops are mostly buried below the surface of the soil, with a partially or completely translucent top surface known as a leaf window which allows light to enter the interior of the leaves for photosynthesis.
 
Yellow or white flowers emerge from the fissure between the leaves after the new leaf pair has fully matured, one per leaf pair. This is usually in autumn, but can be before the summer solstice in L. pseudotruncatella and after the winter solstice in L. optica. The flowers are often sweetly scented.
The most startling adaptation of Lithops is the colouring of the leaves. The leaves are fenestrated, and the epidermal windows are patterned in various shades of cream, grey, and brown, with darker windowed areas, dots, and red lines, according to species and local conditions. The markings function as remarkable camouflage for the plant in its typical stone-like environment. 
Lithops require pollination from a separate plant. Like most mesembs, Lithops fruit is a dry capsule that opens when it becomes wet; some seeds may be ejected by falling raindrops, and the capsule re-closes when it dries out.

Lithops occur naturally across wide areas of Namibia and South Africa.

(gold lace cactus, ladyfinger cactus) is a species of flowering plant in the Cactaceae family, native to central Mexico. Growing to 15 cm (6 in) tall by 30 cm (12 in) wide, it consists of densely packed clusters of elongated oval stems, covered in harmless yellow or brown spines, and in spring producing white or yellow flowers.

It is among the commonest and most variable of its genus in nature, and is a popular subject for cultivation.[1][2] It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

‘Arizona Snowcap’
‘Arizona Snowcap’ is a small cactus, up to 4 inches (10 cm) tall and up to 5 inches (12.5 cm) wide. The stems are cylindrical, dark green, almost concealed by the spines, up to 3.2 inches (8 cm) long and up to 1.2 inches (3 cm) in diameter, and branching profusely by sides. Spines are short, white and thick. The flowers are small, cream-yellow with pinkish or brownish midstripe, up to 0.7 inch (17 mm) long and up to 0.5 inch (12 mm) wide.

To encourage better flowering, allow the plants to enjoy a cooling period in the winter and suspend watering. Unlike many other cacti, which use their ribs as storage devices, the Mammillaria feature raised tubercles, from which spines emerge. When you water, the tubercles will expand to allow for increased water storage.
The flowers emerge from the axils of these tubercles on the previous year’s growth, which accounts for their interesting halo effect.
keep very dry winter and use a fertilizer during the growing season for the best results.

Description: Peperomia graveolens is a beautiful evergreen herb with an aboveground growth habit. It has glowing wine red stems with glossy red succulent leaves with clear green "windows" on their surfaces,

is a genus of epiphytic cacti. They are typically known as mistletoe cacti. The scientific name derives from the Ancient Greek term for wickerwork, referring to the plants'
Rhipsalis is found as an epiphyte in tropical rainforests, some species may also grow epilithic or, rarely, terrestrial.
found widely in Central America, parts of the Caribbean and a great part of northern and central South America. The center of diversity of Rhipsalis lies in the rainforests of the Mata Atlantica in southeastern Brazil.
It is found throughout the New World, but additionally in tropical Africa, Madagascar and Sri Lanka. It is the only cactus with a natural occurrence outside the New World 

 Rhipsalis mistletoe cactus is also called chain cactus and grows epiphytically in its tropical forest home.
The cactus has pencil thin succulent stems that may reach 6 feet in length. The thick skin of the stems does not produce thorns, but it does have almost imperceptible bumps on the surface of the plant. These plants are found clinging to tree crotches, in branch nooks and nestled in rock crevasses. The Rhipsalis mistletoe cactus is easy to grow and has very minimal needs. It is perfect for the home interior in a northern or western window. Mistletoe Cactus Mistletoe cacti are easy to grow from cuttings. Seeds take way too long and they require very even environmental conditions. Take cuttings and let the severed end callus for a few days. Plant the callused end in a cactus mix or sand that has been lightly moistened. Cuttings root in two to six weeks. The plant rarely needs fertilizing and has few other needs except moderate light and even moisture. Fertilize with a half dilution of cactus food from April to September, once per month. Water frequently in spring and summer, but suspend water in winter. If any of the stems are damaged, you can trim them off with a sharp, sterile knife. Use these as cuttings to start new Rhipsalis mistletoe cactus.
 

Mistletoe Cactus Plant
An interesting cactus houseplant, mistletoe cactus is a modern indoor plant that has a unique form thanks to its trailing shape. A lush, full-grown plant looks like a living Cousin It --- making it a fun addition to your indoor decor as well as a conversation piece.
Because mistletoe cactus has trailing stems, you usually see this houseplant sold in hanging baskets. They're a great way to enliven a window.
Grow mistletoe cactus in low to medium light. It can take a little direct sun indoors, especially in Northern climates, but doesn't need bright sun to thrive. This indoor plant thrives under artificial lighting, too.

Unlike most cacti, mistletoe cactus comes from tropical rainforests rather than the desert. It typically grows on trees rather than in soil. Because of that, it's best to treat your mistletoe cactus a bit like an orchid and allow the potting mix to dry a bit before watering again. Take care not to overwater mistletoe cactus. If you want to fertilize your mistletoe cactus, do so in spring and summer using a general-purpose houseplant fertilizer.

This modern indoor plant also prefers average to high humidity, so it's an excellent choice for growing in well-lit kitchens and bathrooms.

Sedum rubrotinctum

or Sedum × rubrotinctum, and commonly known as jelly-beans, jelly bean plant, or pork and beans. It is a species of Sedum from the Crassulaceae family of plants.
Nicknamed for its short leaves that resemble jelly beans, especially when taking on a protective hue. The plant was named officially as a distinct species in 1948. It is a succulent plant originating in Mexico. 

The leaves of the Sedum rubrotinctum plant change colour from green to red during the summer months as a protective adaptation They sprout bright yellow flowers from between the leaves in mid-spring. 
Sedum rubrotinctum is cultivated as an ornamental plant, for planting in gardens and as potted plants. It is grown very easily and tolerates all types of soil except for those that are poorly drained. It grows very well in summer, can take variations in climate, although it is not frost-tolerant.
New plants may be grown from leaves (or beans) that drop off or are separated from the stem and laid on the soil.
Sedum rubrotinctum is poisonous and may cause irritation when ingested or touched.

is a species of plant native to Mexico.
Today it can also be found in Italy and on the Canary islands. Also called stonecrop, or Coppertone Sedum, it is a member of the Crassulaceae family

These copper toned succulents grow up to 20 cm, and can bloom with small star shaped white flowers. with full or part sun. They can be used in rock gardens. Grow from cuttings in summer or seeds in autumn.

"This plant was first discovered by Carl Albert Purpus at a sulfur spring in a ravine at Zacualpan in Veracruz, Mexico in 1906 or 1907 but was later described in 1923 by the German botanist Bitter who named it for Ernst Nussbaumer, the head gardener at the Bremen Botanic Garden in Germany.

Green Cockscomb
Sedum dendroideum subsp. praealtum, Sedum praealtum subsp. praealtum

Sedum praealtum is a tall, tree-like succulent plant. It can form a shrub up to 3 feet (90 cm) in height. Spatulate leaves are shiny lime green, often with red margins in bright light. The flowers are star-shaped and yellow in color.

When growing Sedum, keep in mind that Sedum plants need very little attention or care. They will thrive in conditions that many other plants thrive in, but will do just as well in less hospitable areas.
A common name for Sedum is Stonecrop, due to the fact that many gardeners joke that only stones need less care and live longer.

Sedum is easily planted. For shorter varieties, simply laying the plant on the ground where you want it to grow is normally enough to get the Sedum plant started there. They will send out roots from wherever the stem is touching the ground and root itself. If you would like to further ensure that the plant will start there, you can add a very thin covering of soil over the plant. For taller Sedum varieties, you can break off one of the stems and push it into the ground where you would like to grow it.

(formerly called Sedum spectabile) is a species of flowering plant in the stonecrop family Crassulaceae, native to China and Korea. Its common names include showy stonecrop, ice plant, and butterfly stonecrop.  Growing to 45 cm (18 in) tall and broad, it is an herbaceous perennial with alternate, simple, toothed leaves on erect, unbranched succulent stems. The star-shaped pink flowers are borne in flat cymes 15 cm (6 in) across, in fall (autumn). 
The specific epithet spectabile means "showy". 

This plant is valued in cultivation as drought-tolerant groundcover. Numerous cultivars have been produced. The species and the cultivar 'Brilliant'[ have both gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

is a genus of about 40 species of flowering plants in the Crassulaceae family, commonly known as houseleeks. Other common names include liveforever (the source of the taxonomical designation Sempervivum, literally "always/forever alive") and hen and chicks, a name shared with plants of other genera as well. They are succulent perennials forming mats composed of tufted leaves in rosettes. In favourable conditions they spread rapidly via offsets, and several species are valued in cultivation as groundcover for dry, sunny locations. 
Houseleeks exist from Morocco to Iran, through the mountains of Iberia, the Alps, Carpathians, Balkan mountains, Turkey, the Armenian mountains, in the northeastern part of the Sahara Desert, and the Caucasus. Their ability to store water in their thick leaves allows them to live on sunny rocks and stony places in the mountain, subalpine and alpine belts. Most are hardy to-20 

houseleek a succulent perennial plant. It has a rosette with thick leaves that store water. The leaves are usually green with reddish-purple tips. This plant reproduces with asexual budding and monocarpic sexual reproduction.

 L. Origin:  Mountain of Europe from the Pyrenees to the Carpathians where many variations occur naturally. Common Names include: Cobweb Houseleek, Hens & ChicksEtymology: Its name arachnoideum refers to toarachnoids, or spiders for its furry central rosettes, resembling spider webs. Cultivation: Always an interesting plant and relatively  easy to grow in container or in the rock garden but resents winter wet. The 'cobweb' catches and holds the rain so that rot is likely to set in. Frost Tolerance: Hardy at least to -12°C (or less). After the plant blooms and sets seed it will die, but there will be many offsets to take its place. It need full sun to light shade and tolerates shade, but a sunny spot is nicest, though in warmer climates it needs protection from too much sun because it is not very heat tolerant.
Require a well drained succulent soil mix. It takes little water & could rot if watered too often. During the growing season, the plants are watered and allowed to dry slightly before watering again. Although they can take a great deal of drought, they seem to do better with regular (but moderated) watering. During the winter months, plants are watered very little.

 

Outdoors it will spread itself through narrow locations between rockery stones. It does not prefer rich loamy soil; gritty dirt with pea gravel suits it. Excess moisture can damage the plant in winter and it will benefit from being brought into the shelter of the greenhouse or cold frame.

Senecio serpens

 

 is a small, evergreen, succulent perennial, branching from the base and rooting along the stems, up to 8 inches (20 cm) tall and up to 40 inches (1 m) wide. The prostrate stems hold short, sub-cylindrical, powdery blue-grey to blue-green finger-like fleshy leaves. The small flowers are white in color.

Senecio serpens



from 25 °F (−3.9 °C) to 50 °F (+10 °C). 
Established plants are extremely drought tolerant. They do need some water, during the summer, but do not leave the soil wet for prolonged periods. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings in the winter, when they are somewhat dormant. Since they are growing in sandy soil, nutrients will need to be replenished. Fertilize annually, but lightly. Too much fertilizer will cause a lot of leggy growth.

Taller varieties can get floppy. You can prune them back to where the stem is firm, in very early spring. You can even root the cuttings.

Plants can be divided or repotted in early spring. If you are growing them in containers, they enjoy spending the summer outdoors. Wait until there is no danger of frost and move them back indoors in the winter


Native to South Africa (Cape Province).
 

   

Senecio haworthii,

 

native to South Africa, forms long, tubular leaves with densely flocked white leaves. Member of Compositae (Aster) family. Flowers are yellowish orange. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Bright light with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Less water during winter months. Protect from frost. 

 Senecio mandraliscae (Blue Chalk Stick) is a spreading succulent from South Africa

Senecio herreianus, native to Namibia, is a member of Compositae (Aster) family. Forms long pendant stems with leaves that look like oval green "beads" with vertical translucent lines or "photosynthetic windows". As with other members of the Compositae family, flowers are similar to broccoli florets and are actually compound flowers composed of many tiny flowers. Porous soil with adequate drainage. Bright light with ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Less water during winter months. Protect from frost.

Senecio haworthii




also known as Woolly senecio is a perennial dwarf shrub of the Senecio genus that grows in South Africa
Its first description was written by Adrian Hardy Haworth,
The leaves are remarkably densely felted, so much so that the felt can be stripped off, dried, and used as tinder. The plant is accordingly called "tontelbos" in Afrikaans. The word means "tinder bush". Though its flowers are nothing special to look at, the plant is striking, easily grown, and fairly attractive; a plucked stem, or even a leaf, can be stuck into warm,or even ot-too-dry earth, where it will strike root without special attention. Like most Richtersveld plants it does not do well in wet soil, but is not in general a demanding garden subject. Senecio haworthii needs well-drained sandy loams, little water and full sun.

Lemon Bean Bush
Senecio barbertonicus is a perennial shrub reaching heights of 0.5–1.8 m.
An evergreen succulent with finger-like mid-green leaves, slightly curved and narrowing to a pointed tip.
The plant has a short flowering period, producing tight clusters of yellow blooms.

Senecio radicans
(String of Bananas) is a succulent houseplant. this species is closely related to the common String of Pearls, and is native to South Africa. It has multiple tendrils of glossy, banana-shaped foliage.

relatively hardy and easy to grow, is especially good for pots, hanging baskets, succulent gardens, and other areas in need of textural interest.

Senecio radicans is native to South Africa. Like most succulents, this species is frost-tender and cannot withstand freezing temperatures (below 32 degrees F), restricting it to areas where the annual temperatures do not drop below this point.

String of Bananas grows in long tendrils of attractive, banana-shaped leaves.
Individuals of this species have a prostrate growth habit with mat-forming stems 15–30 cm long. Its growth in long, matted tendrils makes the “String of Bananas” an excellent groundcover, as well as ideal for cascading over the edges of containers or hanging baskets.
Senecio Radicans makes an excellent houseplant for winter interest.
Grown for the shape, texture, and color of its attractive foliage rather than for its blooms,

 (Senecio vitalis)



The blue chalk fingers plant produces succulent blue-green leaves that resemble plump fingers reaching . Like most succulents, it requires minimal watering and almost no care once it's established in a pot or bed. Blue chalk fingers overwinter it indoors
Blue chalk fingers rarely requires fertilization, and it only needs watered when the soil dries out completely.
