The leaf normally has a faint line of hair, along its reddish margins (but the hairs tend to fall off at the leaf tip). [2] In its growth form, C. rubricaulis becomes a small (30-50 cm), rounded, branching, perennial shrub, with smooth, red-brown stems ("rubricaulis"="red-stemmed"). The hard, brittle branches root if they lie against the ground.
Cut succulent stems should heal over in a few days and eventually produce new growth as long as your plant receives the light, water, and care it requires. Step 6: Propagate Broken Stems and Leaves
Euphorbia trigona, the African milk tree, [1] cathedral cactus, [1] or Abyssinian euphorbia, [2] is a species of flowering plant that originates from Central Africa.Somewhat common in cultivation as a houseplant or as a hedge, the species is one of the euphorbias with succulent stems and branches as an adaptation to arid climates.
It is a small, succulent herb (15–40 cm in height) - with stems that are either erect or rambling and mat-forming. Each stem forms roots at its internodes, which take root if the stem lies against the ground. C.capitella is mostly biennial, blooming in the summer, with small, white, star-shaped flowers forming all around each thick, upright stem.
Stem succulents are succulent plants defined by their succulent stems, which function to store water and conduct photosynthesis.These plants, like many others native to hot desert regions, undergo CAM photosynthesis, an alternative metabolic pathway where the plants' stomata open to exchange gasses and fix CO 2 almost exclusively at night.
Uses and toxicity [ edit ] As with all Euphorbiaceae species, when broken or cut, the tissue of Euphorbia caducifolia bleeds a profuse white, latex-like, phorbol-containing sap (among other alkaloids) which may be particularly painful if contact is made with mucous membranes —such as in the eyes, mouth or nose, or if it drips into a fresh cut.
Stapelia is a genus of low-growing, spineless, stem succulent plants, predominantly from South Africa with a few from other parts of Africa. Several Asian and Latin American species were formerly included but they have all now been transferred to other genera.
Peperomia pellucida (also known by common names pepper elder, shining bush plant, crab claw herb, and man to man) is an annual, shallow-rooted herb, usually growing to a height of about 15 to 45 cm (6 to 18 inches), it is characterized by succulent stems, shiny, heart-shaped, fleshy leaves and tiny, dot-like seeds attached to several fruiting spikes.
