Alluaudiopsis marnieriana

Native to Madagascar, this slender succulent shrub can grow to between 1 to 2 metres tall. Small spines cover the thin branches, accompanied by narrow bright green leaves that emerge in dainty clusters with the spines. Alluaudiopsis marnieriana is a rare find, and due to its delicate nature it is typically grafted onto Alluaudia procera root stock in cultivation.

Watering

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.

Light requirements

Full sun. 

Feed

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

Repotting

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.
