Tylecodon reticulatus
caudiciform
Description
Tylecodon reticulatus, often called the Bushman's Poison, is a fascinating succulent shrub native to arid regions of South Africa. It's recognized for its unique, intricately branching stems with a distinctive, peeling bark. The plant displays small, fleshy leaves, which can be shed during the dry season to conserve water. The plant can produce bell-shaped flowers in the winter, adding to its visual appeal. This plant is well-suited for xeriscaping, needing well-draining soil and plenty of sunlight. Water sparingly, especially during the dormant season, to avoid rot. Be mindful of its poisonous nature and keep it away from children and pets.
