Anacampseros rufescens

Common Name(s)/Synonym(s): Sand Rose

Origin: Native to South Africa.

Description: A small succulent with erect or slowly creeping, dichotomously branched stems and fleshy leaves spirally arranged along the stem. It can grow up to 8cm tall and spread outwards, forming a low clump and developing a thick caudex like base. In shaded positions, the upper surface of the leaves are olive green, while when exposed to full sun, they become reddish/brown to purple. The white hairs between the leaves help the plant survive droughts by trapping water vapour from the air

Care: They grow well in partial sun with bright light which enhances the leaf colour and keeps the plant compact. Plant in a well draining soil and let mixture dry out completely between watering.
