Plant Care Guide

Species-appropriate care guides for Pachypodiums, caudiciforms, succulents and bonsai in South African conditions.

Rare plants rarely fail because of one big mistake — it is usually water at the wrong point in the growth cycle. Start with the guide for your plant’s genus, then read the topic guides on watering, dormancy, substrate and repotting.

Golden rule: learn whether your plant grows in summer or in winter, and water to match its growth, not the calendar.
