Pelargonium Carnosum - Exact Plant (WYSIWYG)

US Seller – You Will Purchase the Exact Plant Pictured!

The Pelargonium carnosum is a striking caudiciform succulent native to South Africa. Known for its thick, sculptural stems and finely divided, grey-green leaves, this species combines rugged texture with delicate beauty. Over time, it forms a woody, bonsai-like base that makes it a true collector’s specimen. In the right conditions, it may produce small, pale flowers that add to its understated charm.

This plant is ideal for those who love unusual, architectural species that thrive on neglect and bring a touch of the desert to any indoor or greenhouse collection.

Care Instructions

Light: Prefers bright, direct sunlight. Outdoors, full sun is ideal. Indoors, place near a south or west-facing window.
Water: Water deeply but infrequently. Allow soil to dry completely between waterings. During dormancy (typically summer), reduce watering significantly.
Humidity: Loves dry air—avoid misting or overly humid environments.
Temperature: Best kept between 60–85°F (15–29°C). Protect from frost or prolonged cold exposure.
💡 Pro Tip: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix with extra pumice or perlite. Pelargoniums prefer tight pots and dry feet—too much water is the fastest way to lose them!
