Meet Adenia perrieri—the rare caudiciform with sculptural dryland character. Her swollen base and unusual growth habit make her feel more like living sculpture than a standard houseplant. Stylish, unusual and full of character, she is a brilliant choice for adding something special to the plant shelf.

  • The Nickname: Perrier’s Adenia
  • Roots: A Madagascan caudiciform species adapted to seasonal dry periods and bright conditions.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Very bright light is best, with gentle direct sun if acclimatised.
  • Best Room: A warm bright shelf, sunny windowsill or dry greenhouse-style spot is ideal.
  • Snacks: Feed sparingly during active growth with cactus fertiliser.
  • Tropical Feels: Dry average humidity is fine; avoid cool damp conditions.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep warm and frost-free, especially when dry-resting.
  • Thirst: Water cautiously when in active growth and reduce heavily when dormant.
  • Safety First: Not pet-safe – keep away from cats, dogs and children who may chew the leaves or stems.
  • The Bedding: Use a gritty mineral-rich mix with excellent drainage.
  • Family Tree: Propagation is specialist and usually from seed.
  • Space Needs: Display the caudex clearly and avoid burying the crown too deeply.
  • Speed: Slow, with growth following seasonal rhythm.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs around stems and the soil line.
  • Moving Day: Repot carefully and infrequently in warm weather.
  • Haircut: Prune only when necessary and allow cuts to dry safely.
  • Fresh Air: A rare sculptural plant for collectors who enjoy seasonal dryland care.
  • Plant Lore: Caudiciform plants store water in swollen stems or bases, giving them their sculptural look.
