Astrophytum Myriostigma Tricostatum

Tylecodon buchholzianus is a winter-growing succulent shrub native to the arid regions of South Africa, particularly the Western and Northern Cape. Like other members of the genus Tylecodon, it is well adapted to long, dry summers and produces leaves only during the cooler growing season.

Characteristics:

• Forms a branching shrub with a thickened, often sculptural base.
• Stems may become woody and grey with age.
• Leaves are fleshy, green, and appear mainly in winter (active growth period).
• Produces tall flower stalks bearing small tubular flowers, usually greenish to yellowish or pinkish depending on form.
• The plant typically enters full dormancy in summer, shedding its leaves.

Cultivation:

• Winter-growing succulent.
• Requires very well-drained soil and a dry summer dormancy.
• Water moderately during autumn–spring growth.
• Keep almost completely dry in summer.
• Prefers full sun to bright light conditions.

Notes:

• Like many Tylecodon species, it contains toxic compounds and should not be consumed by animals or humans
