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
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.
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.
The peduncles grow from the stem and are 1–2 mm (0.039–0.079 in) thick, and grow to create an inflorescence that measures 10–20 cm (3.9–7.9 in) tall. The peduncle is lined with succulent bracts, the lower ones measuring 4–10 mm (0.16–0.39 in) long by 3–7 mm (0.12–0.28 in) wide with an attenuate tip. The lowermost two bracts are ...
Pedicel – the stem or stalk that holds a single flower in an inflorescence. Peduncle – the part of a stem that bears the entire inflorescence, normally having no leaves, or the leaves having been reduced to bracts. When the flower is solitary, it is the stem or stalk holding the flower. Peduncular – referring to or having a peduncle.
Apocynaceae (/ ə ˌ p ɑː s ə ˈ n eɪ s i ˌ aɪ,-s iː ˌ iː /, from Apocynum, Greek for "dog-away") is a family of flowering plants that includes trees, shrubs, herbs, stem succulents, and vines, commonly known as the dogbane family, [1] because some taxa were used as dog poison.
stem attachment: A round leaf where the petiole attaches near the center, e.g. a lotus leaf perfoliate: perfoliatus: stem attachment: With the leaf blade surrounding the stem such that the stem appears to pass through the leaf perforate: perforatus: leaf surface features Many holes, or perforations, on leaf surface. Compare with fenestrate ...
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.
