A hardy and unusual succulent with segmented, jointed stems and brightly variegated leaves in shades of cream, pink, and green. Known as the Variegated Candle Plant, this form is more compact and colourful than the standard species. Leaves may drop in winter or if plants are kept too dry.

Care

  • Light: Full sun to partial shade. Best colour in bright light. Indoors only in very sunny positions.
  • Water: Allow soil to dry between waterings, especially in winter. Protect from excess moisture.
  • Temperature: Warm growing, but tolerates light frost if kept dry.
  • Media: Well-draining succulent or cactus mix.
  • Feeding: Light feeding during growth with low-nitrogen fertiliser. Too much nitrogen reduces colour and produces soft growth.
  • Repotting: Repot or divide clumps in the warmer months. Plants can be left to fill their pot before repotting.

Key Characteristics

  • Stems: Jointed, swollen, candle-like
  • Leaves: Variegated pink, cream, and green
  • Habit: Upright, clumping
  • Season: Actively grows spring–autumn, semi-dormant in winter
  • Use: Pots, succulent collections, unusual specimen plant
