Stenocactus multicostatus

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.

Euphorbia suzannae is a fascinating and highly collectible succulent native to South Africa. This unusual species is admired for its compact, cylindrical stems covered with distinctive rounded tubercles, giving the plant a unique, sculptural appearance.

The plant gradually produces offsets, forming attractive clusters of finger-like, green stems. Its unusual texture and compact growth habit make it an excellent choice for specialist succulent collections and decorative pots.

Under favourable growing conditions, mature plants produce small, yellowish-green cyathia (specialised Euphorbia flower structures), adding to their ornamental appeal.

Growing Conditions:

• Light: Bright light with gentle morning sun or partial shade.
• Water: Water moderately during active growth, allowing the soil to dry thoroughly between waterings.
• Soil: Very well-draining, mineral-rich cactus and succulent mix.
• Growth: Slow-growing, forming attractive clusters through offsets.
• Propagation: Seeds or offsets.
• Care: Protect from frost, excessive moisture, and prolonged exposure to intense afternoon sun.

Important: Like other Euphorbia species, this plant contains a milky latex sap that can irritate the skin and eyes. Handle with care.
