Ceraria namaquensis Specimen 30 / 90

This unique specimen has some unusual growth, with some stems having at one point grown downwards and to the side. Creating a perfectly dainty yet sculptural silhouette.

The seldom seen Ceraria namaquensis is a corker of a succulent with silver Birch-like shimmering metallic stems, covered top to bottom in greenish blue jelly bean leaves - it has a unique look. In spring given the right conditions you may see a profusion of small pink flowers just before the plant enters its summer dormancy. 

This plant naturally dwells is dry open shrubland, so it likes to dry out completely in-between watering. To avoid any loss of water the plant can drop some leaves over the summer months as it goes into its dormancy; when this happens cut the watering down slightly to allow the plant to rest.  

Full sun.

Repot every 2-3 years. Use a well draining cactus compost, adding extra drainage such as perlite, pumice or grit.

Use a cactus fertiliser 3 times between September - May.

30 / 90cm

Plant is supplied in its plastic nursery pot.
