Tylecodon have sculptural stems and seasonal foliage that changes their appearance through the year. When leaves drop, the underlying branching structure comes into view.

They generally grow in cooler months and rest in summer. Recognising this cycle helps reduce watering after leaf fall without trying to keep the foliage artificially. Explore Caudiciformes.

General care

  • Light: Light suited to the species with gradual acclimatisation.
  • Watering: Water during cooler-month growth once the mix dries; greatly reduce during leafless summer dormancy.
  • Compost: Free-draining mix and a pot with room for roots, avoiding standing water.
  • Temperature: Protect from cold and persistent dampness.
  • Maintenance: Respect seasonal leaf fall and avoid pruning or repotting in dormancy.
