Tylecodon singularis

An absolutely curious caudex plant from southern Namibia which usually only forms a single, round leaf.

The small caudex grows mostly underground, and during the rainy season, a single (rarely two), circular leaf develops. The concave leaf is 5 to 8 centimeters long, heart-shaped at the base, and has a short petiole. The underside of the leaf has purple veins and is covered with glandular hairs. In fully grown plants, the leaf lies flat on the substrate.

The plant survives the winter or the dry season without leaves.

T. singularis belongs to the family Crassulaceae (stonecrop family).

You will receive a nearly fully grown plant in a 5 cm pot. The plants are shipped without a pot or potting mix! There is too great a risk of the single leaf breaking off inside the pot.
