Caudex Bonsai

I put it in some succulent soil, lightly watered and it is sprouting a ton of leaves. Gonna be honest, kinda didn’t expect it to do much, this is the second one of these I’ve bought, the last one was from another seller and I never got one leaf. This one is lovely, can’t wait to see it flower.

Please note that the plant is not in bloom yet. It will arrive with instructions on starting the plant. Seller is great to work with.

I received my limited edition desert rose about a month ago. The very top portion was slightly soft and black under the thin bark. I knew this was fungi but thought I’d give the tiny plant a chance since only the top portion was affected. I cut off the top part, planted in cactus soil and treated with a systemic fungicide. The plant did well, developed leaves in just a couple weeks but I’ve noticed the fungus had spread despite the fungicide treatment. See photo.Customer service issued a refund when I requested a healthy replacement plant, one free of fungus. I appreciated that!! But honestly the plant was obviously diseased and should have never been sent to a customer in the first place.

I think that sometimes soon it will favor the pictures of the well developed Floral plant illustrated. Then I'll feel that I have my moneys Worth. Until then, the pleasure of taking care of it, and just watching the development of my plants, will be more than enough!!

I paid for the more expensive version. I planted it in the cactus soil but no new growth after 6 months. However its not dead. It looks the same as when i first purchased and received it. I have no idea what I did wrong... I am still hoping it will grow some day. It is definitely a conversational piece. Like: what is that thing with no leaves; or what is that pokey thing doing in the pot...

Ok so I was not expecting much out of this plant. The pictures make it look unreal. I am not sure if it will ever look like the pictures, but I just say this is one cool little plant! Once planted it was about 6in tall. No leaves or anything until about about 3 weeks under a plant light and watering when the soil dries out, but now it has a bunch of cute little leaves on it! The plant is adorable and I am really happy that I took the leap and bought it. Will keep updated if it ever creates blooms.

I had it last September 27 so I thought the leaves are coming out but looks like it’s all dried. Maybe have to wait till I see the trunk dried up then that’s the time to throw it out or maybe it will still catch up

Two nice sized healthy looking plants. Bigger and more well branched than I expected. They were nicely packaged as well. Looking forward to them leafing out and blooming! These are from Contemporary Roots - would buy from again.
