Cotyledon papillaris 'Choco Line' is a captivating succulent prized for its velvety, plump leaves that develop a chocolate-brown hue under bright light. Native to South Africa, this compact plant thrives in arid environments.
Distinctive Features
Chocolate-Tinted Leaves: The fleshy, rounded leaves take on a deep brown to burgundy tint when exposed to sufficient sunlight, contrasting beautifully with their soft texture.
Compact Growth Habit: This slow-growing succulent maintains a low, mounding form, making it ideal for small spaces and container arrangements.
Drought Tolerance: Adapted to dry conditions, it stores water efficiently in its thick leaves, requiring minimal watering.
Care Tips
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun for best colour development.
Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Thrives in dry to moderate humidity; avoid excessive moisture.
Temperature: Best kept in temperatures between 10-30°C; protect from frost.
Fertiliser: Feed with a diluted, balanced succulent fertiliser during the growing season.
Potting: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent water retention.
Propagation: Easily propagated from leaf or stem cuttings; allow cuttings to callous before planting.
