Common Name:
Ribbon Plant
Origin:
South Africa
Description:
Small plant from Namaqualand (S. Africa) that grows to have stunning wavy leaves that grow wider each year, will form ribbon like thick wavy leaves in a few years.
Winter grower with a summer dormancy. Hardy in the Bay Area.
Summer – when leaves drop, let the pots dry out completely, only
giving it a very small amount of water once/month. Let it rest in a
hot well-ventilated area for the duration of the dormancy.
Autumn – as temperatures cool you should see new leaves
appear, at which time you can give them a drink. Water every 2-3
weeks while growing thru spring. Make sure the soil totally dries
out between watering.
