Deuterocohnia

Discover the captivating beauty of Deuterocohnia, a resilient genus of succulents hailing from the rugged landscapes of South America. These unique plants, known for their dense clusters of stiff, narrow leaves and remarkable hardiness, will add a touch of the exotic to your rock gardens, xeriscapes, or even your sun-drenched windowsills.

Features:

• Textured Rosettes: Marvel at the intricate patterns formed by the tightly packed rosettes of stiff, narrow leaves. These leaves, ranging in color from green and grey to brown, often feature silvery scales or spines, creating a captivating tactile and visual experience.

Easy Care:

• Well-Draining Soil: Ensure optimal health with a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
