About Lenophyllum texanum
Coming from Mexico and southern Texas, Lenophyllum texanum is a succulent of the Crassulaceae family appreciated by collectors and enthusiasts. It stands out for opposite decussate spatulate leaves, a peculiarity that has fascinated botanists and enthusiasts for generations.
Your Lenophyllum texanum has been grown at Succulentae, a specialized nursery in Almería, under real Mediterranean arid conditions — more resilient and better adapted than artificial greenhouse plants. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
