Cotyledon Long Fingers looks like some kind of anemone you'd see under the sea glued on a tropical ocean reef, long, ghostly, milky dusty blue/sea green fingers waving in the current, searching for bit of seafood to eat. Those fingers have very pointy points but they're not poky. Growing in a basically a 3-5" wide rosette shape, if you really look, it's harder to see with those long fleshy fingers waving around. Growing in clumps, the clumps multiply to multitudes, easily separated to pot up individuals, or leave them to form a dense colony of clumps as they do in the wild, lonely coastal dunes and bluffs of South Africa. Lovely flowers happen in spring/summer, a tall stem topped with a mop of poky, coral/peach, downturned, bright orange bells. Very different and pretty.
- Drought Tolerant
- Low Maintenance
Quick Care Guide:
- Water - Low (1): Needs very little water to survive. Wait until the plant is completely dry then fully soak. Drought tolerant by nature.
- Light - High (5): Plant needs a lot of light; direct is even better. These plants do best when placed on a window sill or next to a bright window. Avoid concentrated, hot light from window which may cause burning (magnifying glass effect).
- Difficulty - Low (1): These plants need barely any attention to thrive. Set it and forget it.
