These past favorites aren’t always available, but when a crop of miniaturized succulents are ready for market or specialties reappear, check for new listings on the available for purchase page.
Jewel Plant (Titanopsis Hugo-Schlechteri)
Pictured at five years, just three fingers high, time measures in fractions of inches.
Sixteen years later it’s grown two fingers more with only five pruning shear pinches.
Sand Rose (Anacampseros rufescens)
Tall as an apple from trunk-base to top; a tree shaped from twelve years of trimmings.
Rainbow Elephant Bush (Portulacaria afra variegata)
Tiny trees for a miniature Martian world.
Burro’s Tail Sedum (Sedum morganianum)
The sun rises and sets while it faces the window, blinking just once with both flowers.
Its petals stretch wide like inquiring eyes, then close once they reach evening hours.
Baby Toes (Fenestraria rhopalophylla)
And now for something completely different—a salad plate-sized flower from the cactus, Epiphyllum oxypetalum, or Queen of the Night. Taking weeks for the immature flower to grow, the bloom opens for only one night once it’s ready, then slowly closes and fades by sunrise like the memory of a marvelous dream.
