Othonna protecta
Caudiciform
Description
Othonna protecta is a unique succulent that is a slow grower, making it great for someone looking for a rare plant. Its stems often have a reddish hue and are covered with succulent, cylindrical leaves. The leaves may be a pale green. The plant's growth habit is compact and upright, making it ideal for small pots or containers. Othonna protecta requires well-draining soil and prefers bright, indirect light.

This species can be sensitive to overwatering and cold temperatures, so extra care should be taken during the winter.
