Lenopetalum Chocolate

Lenopetalum Chocolate (or Lenophyllum latum ‘Chocolate’)

The Secret to a Hot Color Collection!

Lenophyllum ‘Chocolate’ is a charming and highly resistant succulent, prized for its ability to acquire rich, deep shades of brown and bronze. It is an ideal species for those looking for a fast-growing, easy-to-multiply plant, perfect for filling spaces in terrariums and arrangements.

Features and Highlights

• Unparalleled color: The biggest attraction of this plant is its color. In full sun or under water stress, the leaves change from a dark green to rich shades of chocolate brown, bronze and copper, giving it a warm and unique look.
• Unique shape: It has erect stems with fleshy, cylindrical or spoon-shaped leaves, arranged in a compact manner. Over time, it forms small bushes or clumps.
• Trade Name: Popularly known as Chocolate or, in the case of its variegated variation, ‘Chocolate and Strawberries’, due to the warm tones it develops.
• Easy Propagation: It’s remarkably easy to multiply! The leaves detach and root quickly, and the pruned stems sprout easily, allowing you to increase your collection in no time.

⚠️ Sensitive to Touch: Lenophyllum leaves are known for detaching easily to the touch. Don’t worry, this is the plant’s natural propagation mechanism. The leaves that fall off can easily be used to start new seedlings. Handle with care and avoid touching the leaves when replanting.
