Tylecodon Buchholzianus

Haworthia retusa Variegated

A beautiful and highly desirable form of the South African Haworthia retusa. It forms compact rosettes of thick, triangular leaves with characteristic translucent “windows”. The variegated form develops striking cream, yellow or white markings mixed with green, making every plant unique.

🌱 Care: Bright filtered light or approximately 50–60% shade; avoid harsh midday sun, especially on the pale variegated sections. Use a very well-draining mineral-rich succulent mix and allow it to dry between waterings.

✨ Interesting fact: The transparent leaf windows allow light to penetrate into the leaf—an adaptation associated with Haworthias that grow partly recessed into the soil.

⭐ A must-have for Haworthia collectors, particularly specimens showing strong, balanced variegation.

Euphorbia neurobella (Red Monadenium)

A striking and unusual succulent, Euphorbia neurobella is admired for its thick, sculptural stems and rich reddish tones that intensify in bright light. Its knobbly, textured surface gives it a bold, almost otherworldly appearance, making it a standout piece in any collection. During its growing season, it produces small, delicate flowers that add subtle charm to its rugged form.

Perfect for collectors looking for something different, this plant thrives in warm, bright conditions with well-draining soil and light watering.

Interesting fact:
Euphorbia neurobella was once classified under the genus Monadenium, which is why it’s still commonly known as “Red Monadenium” among collectors.

Echeveria ‘Malgan Red Swan’

A spectacular collector’s Echeveria with beautifully sculpted, ruffled and twisted foliage. Its fleshy leaves develop attractive shades of green, pink and rich red, with the strongest colours generally appearing under bright light and cooler growing conditions. Mature plants form dramatic rosettes that make an excellent feature in any succulent collection.

🌱 Care: Provide plenty of bright light or gentle morning sun to encourage strong colour and compact growth. Use a fast-draining succulent mix. Water thoroughly and then allow the growing medium to dry before watering again. Protect from prolonged wet conditions and severe frost.

✨ Interesting fact: ‘Red Swan’ is particularly valued for the combination of its unusual curled leaf shape and changing coloration. Each rosette can develop its own distinctive appearance as it matures.

⭐ A must-have for Echeveria collectors looking for something colourful, sculptural and unusual.
