Alluaudia procera Specimen 33 / 155

Spiky stems of this mature specimen have grown completely wild, intertwining and growing downward. To accommodate this unsual specimen in its full glory it's best to place it on a stand.

Alluaudia procera is a very unique long stem succulent from Madagascar. It is covered with pairs of small round leaves and sharp spines. During the winter months this species may go dormant and shed its leaves which regrow during spring and summer.

In S/S water thoroughly only when 100% of the soil has dried out. In A/W allow soil to dry 100% - water sparingly (every two months or so). As spring approaches and the plant begins to grow leaves, gradually increase watering quantity and frequency.

Full sun. 

Use a cactus fertiliser every 6-8 weeks between May - September.

Re-pot every 2-3 years or when you see roots protrude from the base of the pot. Use a very free-draining cactus and succulent potting mix with additional drainage material such as gravel, pumice or perlite.
