Trichodiadema mirabile
Succulent
Description
Trichodiadema mirabile, also known as the fairy elephant's feet, is a captivating succulent native to South Africa. This plant is distinguished by its unique, shrubby form and its distinctive leaves. The leaves are fleshy and cylindrical, and they are covered in small, bristle-like appendages that give the plant a fuzzy appearance. When the plant blooms, it produces vibrant, daisy-like flowers, which can be a wide range of colors. Trichodiadema mirabile thrives in well-draining soil and full sun, typical of succulents. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as it is susceptible to root rot. Propagation can be done through stem cuttings or seeds. This plant is a delightful addition to any succulent garden or collection.
