caudiciform
Description
Cyphostemma hypoleucum is a deciduous succulent shrub native to South Africa. It is known for its thick, fleshy stems and its attractive leaves. The leaves are usually divided into leaflets and have a distinctive silver or white underside, which is the origin of its name. The plant produces small, inconspicuous flowers, followed by small, grape-like fruits. This Cyphostemma thrives in well-drained soil and is very drought-tolerant once established. Its unique appearance and its ability to withstand arid conditions make it a striking plant for xeriscaping or rock gardens. These plants do well in full sun and well-drained soil. It's a hardy succulent option for warmer regions and is relatively low maintenance.
