Cotyledon orbiculata variegated is a visually stunning succulent native to South Africa, prized for its thick, paddle-shaped leaves that feature unique marbled patterns of green, cream, and pink. This drought-tolerant plant is highly sought after by collectors due to its ornamental appeal and adaptability to arid conditions.

Distinctive Features

  • Marbled Foliage: The fleshy, rounded leaves exhibit an eye-catching mix of green, creamy yellow, and pink hues, especially when exposed to bright light.
  • Powdery Coating: The leaves have a natural powdery bloom (farina), which gives them a soft, silvery sheen and protects against intense sun exposure.
  • Bell-Shaped Flowers: In summer, this plant produces elegant, tubular orange-red flowers that dangle gracefully from tall stems, attracting pollinators.

Care Tips

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight to full sun; variegation intensifies with higher light exposure.
  • Water: Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings; overwatering may cause root rot.
  • Humidity: Thrives in low humidity and well-ventilated conditions, making it ideal for dry climates.
  • Temperature: Best suited for temperatures between 15–25°C but can tolerate cooler conditions down to 5°C.
  • Fertiliser: Apply a diluted succulent fertiliser once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
  • Potting: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent excess moisture retention.
  • Propagation: Easily propagated through leaf cuttings or stem cuttings, allowing new plants to establish quickly.
  • Toxic to pets if ingested, so keep out of reach of cats and dogs.
