Tylecodon bucholzianus Mesemb Protect from hot afternoon sunTylecodon bucholzianus One of the smallest members of this unusual group of winter growing succulent perennials. It makes cylindrical green leaves on short branching stems. Tylecodon are winter growers, meaning they need good light & water in the fall through spring, then allowed to go dormant in the summer. In the summer it may drop many or all leaves. A little water once a month or so in the summer is fine, but if you keep it wet then it will rot.
