Description:

It is a very particular and highly sought-after miniature succulent: it has tufts of worm-shaped branches, of a beautiful silvery-gray color, less candid, than the other species of Avonia, which allows it in nature to blend in more easily, in order not to be uprooted. Each branch does not exceed two centimeters in length and is thickly covered with paper-like flakes, that hide the tiny leaves of the plant. In summer, its ornamental species is amplified by small cream-colored flowers, which perfectly match the overall beauty of this succulent. It tends to grow very slowly, but, if you know how to give it some extra attention, its extraordinary and unique appearance will amply repay you!

Plant care:

It requires a lot of light all year around, avoiding direct sun rays especially during the hottest hours of the day.

It prefers rather mild temperatures, however it survives even in temperatures close to freezing if the soil is dry.

Water moderately only when the soil is completely dry. It is enough to water the plant once every two weeks in spring and summer, once every two months in autumn and suspend it completely in winter.

A draining soil is an optimal solution, for example formed by a mix of peat and pumice so that water does not stagnate.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
