About Cotyledon pendens
Cotyledon pendens is a succulent of the Crassulaceae family, native to South Africa and Arabian Peninsula. It stands out for opposite decussate leaves with marked margin, a peculiarity that has fascinated botanists and enthusiasts for generations.
At Succulentae we grow every Cotyledon pendens directly in our nursery in southeastern Spain, in conditions of intense sun, low humidity and mineral substrate that replicate its natural habitat. That’s why you receive a robust plant, with marked natural color and hardened against sun and drought.
