Cotyledon Pendens – Trailing Succulent

Add a beautiful cascading touch to your plant collection with Cotyledon pendens, a distinctive trailing succulent known for its fleshy foliage and hanging growth habit.

As the stems grow longer, they naturally cascade over the edge of the container, making this plant particularly attractive in hanging pots and elevated planters. Its compact leaves and unusual trailing form make it a great choice for both succulent collectors and beginners looking for something different.

Light Requirements

Place Cotyledon pendens in a bright location with plenty of natural light. Gentle direct sunlight can encourage compact growth and maintain good foliage colour.

If moving the plant from lower light to direct sunlight, acclimatise it gradually to prevent sun damage.

Watering

Allow the soil to dry between watering. Water thoroughly when the plant requires moisture and allow excess water to drain completely.

Avoid keeping the soil continuously wet, as excessive moisture can cause root problems.

Soil

Use a well-draining cactus and succulent soil mix. A porous growing medium is ideal for preventing water retention around the roots.

• Hanging planters
