Agave Titanota Red Catweazle

Euphorbia abdelkuri is a rare and highly collectible succulent admired for its smooth grey-blue stems and unusual sculptural growth. This slow-growing species develops upright branching stems covered in a waxy coating that protects it from harsh sunlight and extreme drought. Its almost otherworldly appearance makes it a standout specimen in succulent and Euphorbia collections. It prefers warm temperatures, bright indirect light to full sun, and very well-draining soil.

Interesting Fact:
The pale ghostly colour of Euphorbia abdelkuri is caused by a protective wax layer that helps reflect intense desert sunlight and reduce water loss in its natural habitat.

Original Habitat:
Native to Abd al Kuri Island, part of the Socotra archipelago near Yemen, where it grows in extremely dry, rocky desert conditions.

Tulista pumila (formerly Haworthia pumila) is a striking and slow-growing succulent native to the Western Cape of South Africa. Known for its architectural beauty, this plant forms compact rosettes of thick, fleshy, dark green to brownish leaves covered with prominent raised white tubercles, giving it a textured, bumpy appearance.

Tulista pumila can grow up to 20 cm (8 inches) tall and wide, with mature plants producing tall, slender flower stalks bearing small, tubular, pale pink to white flowers—typically blooming in late spring to summer. The leaves are triangular and curved inward, often with toothed margins, adding to its ornamental value.

This species is drought-tolerant and prefers well-draining soil, partial sun to bright indirect light, and minimal watering—making it ideal for rock gardens, succulent collections, or container displays. Tulista pumila is also prized for its resilience and unique form, often regarded as one of the most attractive members of the Tulista genus.
