Under the charming name of Desert Rose, this bonsai-like succulent adapts to a hot and dry environment. Its trunk has a swollen, bottle-shaped base, similar to the baobab. In summer, its trunk is covered with a single, simple flower. It's magnificent! It is recommended to stop watering completely in the fall. This plant tolerates a dormant period in dry conditions better. Overwatering can be fatal.
Caution! Risk of toxicity if swallowed.
