Tylecodon Buchholzianus

The Agave victoriae-reginae ‘Sun King’ is a rare and distinguished cultivar of the Queen Victoria agave, celebrated for its compact rosette, striking geometry, and golden variegation. Its thick, dark green leaves are finely outlined in white and marked by bold yellow to gold margins, forming a visually arresting contrast that enhances its architectural beauty.

This slow-growing succulent is ideal for collectors, container gardening, and xeriscape designs. ‘Sun King’ is both drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, thriving in full sun to partial shade with well-draining soil. Its neat, symmetrical growth habit makes it a standout focal point in any garden or collection.

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.

A distinctive South African collector’s succulent, prized for its unusual textured stems, compact growth, and fascinating architectural appearance.

Ariocarpus kotschoubeyanus are very flat geophyte cacti that produce small star-shaped rosettes. They in most cases don’t reach more than only a few centimetres above the ground. Although they can form clumps, often only a small disc of tubercles can be seen flat at the soil surface, however these plants grow a large tap root below the surface of the compost.
