Odd and uncommon the Xerosicyos danguyi is a climbing succulent native to the island of Madagascar. They produce these "silver coin" shaped growths and send out tendrils to attach onto a branch and or fence post. We love these and bizzare species from Madagascar continue to peak our interests.
Random fact these are related to the cucumber. The inside of a cut piece literally smells like it.
Care
Since this is a desert species they get very minimal watering even more so in the winter months. A light watering will suffice when they look completely dry. They naturally want bright light. These usually do not have extensive root systems and they are actually quite fibrous and woody not to be mistaken for dried or rotted roots.
All of our plants are ethically sourced from certified U.S. nurseries. We strongly condemn the poaching of plants or wild collection.Odd and uncommon the Xerosicyos danguyi is a climbing succulent native to the island of Madagascar.
