Description:
It’s a perennial plant that develops from a tuberous root of a globose shape. It has green leaves, narrow at the base that widen at the apex, nicely velvet-like to the touch. In the flowering period it produces pretty conical pink-whitish flowers. Its massive root assumes caudiciform appearance, which allows it to store water to survive periods of drought. It’s a deciduous plant, because it loses its leaves during the vegetative rest period and then regenerates them with the new season restarting its vital cycle.

Plant care:
It requires a lot of light all year long while avoiding direct sunlight.
Its natural habitat is in tropical climates, thus it does not withstand temperatures below 10 °C and it does not like too dry heat. It is therefore advisable to keep it away from cold and intense sun.
During warm seasons water regularly but moderately in order to keep the soil moist. In winter it is advisable to completely suspend watering, as the plant enters the vegetative rest.
A substrate composed of soil combined with fine sand is an optimal solution, which makes it well draining and avoids rotting.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
