This rare and unusual succulent
is a dwarf caudiciform plant
with a fleshy, and somewhat woody,
caudex. Thin branches grow out of
the crown of the flattened caudex
and only reach 1” long. Small purple
flowers are borne on the ends of the
branches in summer. Grow in full to
partial sun and well-drained potting
media. Do not allow Avonia to sit in
water since overwatering can kill it.
Keep mostly dry in the winter months as the caudex stores water for drier times.
This Avonia has been planted in a small terracotta pot measuring 1.75” x 1.25”.
