Monadenium Reflexum

Uncover the beauty of bold structure with Monadenium reflexum, an extraordinary succulent from East Africa admired for its dramatic, caudiciform shape and upright, finger-like stems. A member of the Euphorbia family, this rare plant combines exotic form with easy-care resilience, making it a standout addition to any succulent or caudex-focused collection.

Features:

• Succulent with a swollen, tuberous base (caudex)

• Erect, narrow green stems that may branch over time

• Small, curved cyathia (flowers) appear at stem tips

• Deciduous in dormancy, dropping leaves in dry seasons

• Ideal for caudiciform collections or succulent bonsai displays

• Rare and sought-after by collectors for its form and rarity

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered sun. 

• Watering: Water moderately during the active growing season (spring to autumn). Allow soil to dry between waterings. Keep almost dry in winter dormancy.

• Soil: Requires a well-draining, gritty mix ideal for caudiciforms or succulents.

• Temperature: Keep in a warm, frost-free environment. 

• Fertilizer: Use a diluted, low-nitrogen fertilizer during the growing season once a month.

• Container: Best grown in shallow pots to highlight the caudex and control water retention.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 130mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same. Plants will be shipped as bare root.
