Some varieties are suitable for rock gardens in mild regions as long as the soil is well drained. The thick leaves are often covered with hair or 'meal' and the flowers are generally small in size and borne on terminal panicles. Crassulas can easily be grown from leaf cuttings. Crassula ovata ‘Minima’ is a dwarf succulent growing to 75cm and up to 50cm wide. The leaves are thick, fleshy, glossy and green with reddish edges. Flowers are coral-pink in colour.

It is an endemic plant of the Western Cape Province, South Africa. It is slow-growing and reaches a height of 0.6 - 1.2 meters, with a thick trunk of about 30cm. The leaves are fleshy, rounded, whitish-green. The most striking thing about Crassula Arborescens is that its leaves have a reddish color throughout the perimeter of the leaf. That reddish tint becomes more acute in winter due to the cold. It blooms towards winter, producing white or pink and small flowers, grouped in inflorescences.

  • Checklist of the Vascular Alien Flora of Catalonia (Northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3
    BOTANICAL CHECKLISTS Mediterranean Botany ISSNe 2603-9109 https://dx.doi.org/10.5209/mbot.63608 Checklist of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) Pere Aymerich1 & Llorenç Sáez2,3 Received: 7 March 2019 / Accepted: 28 June 2019 / Published online: 7 November 2019 Abstract. This is an inventory of the vascular alien flora of Catalonia (northeastern Iberian Peninsula, Spain) updated to 2018, representing 1068 alien taxa in total. 554 (52.0%) out of them are casual and 514 (48.0%) are established. 87 taxa (8.1% of the total number and 16.8 % of those established) show an invasive behaviour. The geographic zone with more alien plants is the most anthropogenic maritime area. However, the differences among regions decrease when the degree of naturalization of taxa increases and the number of invaders is very similar in all sectors. Only 26.2% of the taxa are more or less abundant, while the rest are rare or they have vanished. The alien flora is represented by 115 families, 87 out of them include naturalised species. The most diverse genera are Opuntia (20 taxa), Amaranthus (18 taxa) and Solanum (15 taxa). Most of the alien plants have been introduced since the beginning of the twentieth century (70.7%), with a strong increase since 1970 (50.3% of the total number). Almost two thirds of alien taxa have their origin in Euro-Mediterranean area and America, while 24.6% come from other geographical areas. The taxa originated in cultivation represent 9.5%, whereas spontaneous hybrids only 1.2%. From the temporal point of view, the rate of Euro-Mediterranean taxa shows a progressive reduction parallel to an increase of those of other origins, which have reached 73.2% of introductions during the last 50 years.

  • Portulacaria Afra[I]
    Planting orientation of Portulacaria afra cuttings for Thicket restoration: vertical versus horizontal Mutakusi B Ragimana Equal first author, 1 , Alastair J Potts Corresp. Equal first author, 1 1 Botany Department, Nelson Mandela University, Port Elizabeth, Eastern Cape, South Africa Corresponding Author: Alastair J Potts Email address: [email protected] Aim. The re-establishment of Portulacaria afra in the landscape-scale Subtropical Thicket Restoration Programme has exclusively used vertically-orientated truncheons (i.e. large cuttings with the main stem planted 10-20 cm into the ground). Despite the planting of millions of truncheons, the rates of survival, growth and restoration are low. This may be driven by browsing pressure and/or drought conditions during the truncheon establishment phase. Here we conduct a common garden experiment to explore the establishment of horizontal versus vertically orientated truncheons. Horizontal truncheons have their main stem buried in the soil and only a few side branches exposed above ground — these truncheons may experience reduced water stress. Here we compared the levels of water stress during the establishment phase of truncheons with different orientation. Location. Eastern Cape, South Africa. Methods. Our experiment involved three planting treatments for truncheons: vertical orientation, horizontal orientation, and horizontal orientation with exposed side branches clipped. Truncheons were grown for two months and plants were well-watered. On two occasions during the experiment, photosynthetic efficiency was measured on all plants to ascertain levels of plant stress. After the experiment, the root, stem and leaf dry mass were recorded for each replicate, as well as leaf moisture. Results. The root mass proportion (of the total plant) was not significantly different among treatments.

A low-maintenance plant has low fertilizer County for a list of recommended landscape plants requirements and few pest and disease problems. In suitable for south Florida. The resulting list includes addition, low-maintenance plants suitable for south over 350 low-maintenance plants. The following Florida must also be adapted to--or at least information is included for each species: common tolerate-our poor, alkaline, sand- or limestone-based name, scientific name, maximum size, growth rate soils. (vines only), light preference, salt tolerance, and other useful characteristics. An additional criterion for the plants on this list was that they are not listed as being invasive by the Criteria Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council (FLEPPC, 2001), or restricted by any federal, state, or local laws This section will describe the criteria by which (Burks, 2000). Miami-Dade County does have plants were selected. It is important to note, first, that restrictions for planting certain species within 500 even the most drought-tolerant plants require feet of native habitats they are known to invade watering during the establishment period.

Date: 02/07/2009 Wageningen, The Netherlands Thesis code number: GRS-80439 Thesis Report: GIRS-2009-13 Wageningen University and Research Centre Laboratory of Geo-Information Science and Remote Sensing Abstract In the subtropical thicket biome of the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, heavy browsing by goats, which remove shrub biomass more rapidly than it is replaced, transforms the dense closed-canopy shrubland into an open savanna-like system. This transformation causes a lot of changes, among which, soil fertility depletion. This document presents a project dealing with organic carbon (OC), iron oxides, and clay content assessment, in the degraded thicket biome, through the combination of soil spectroscopy and partial least square regression (PLSR) techniques. The study area is a transect crossing in direction south east-north west the Eastern Cape province of South Africa, from latitude -33.57 to -32.59 and longitude 25.38 (eastern extreme) to 25.26 (western extreme). The study area has been selected based on a GIS analyses, realized overlaying vegetation type, rainfall and topography data sets.

    SucculentShop.co.za Page: 2 CAMPFIRE CRASSULA - CRASSULA CAPITELLA The Campfire Crassula is a branching succulent with fleshy propeller-like leaves that mature from bright lime green to bright red. Leaves turn bright red if not over-watered and the plant receives direct sun for SucculentShop.co.za Page: 3 most of the day, during drought or in cold temperatures. It has a prostrate habit, forming mats about 15 cm tall and up to a meter wide. It does best in partial sun and requires more shade in hotter inland sites When grown in shade, the leaves are bright apple green for most of the year. Although fairly drought tolerant, it requires occasional watering. Spikes of insignificant white, star-shaped flowers are borne in summer and attract bees, butterflies and other tiny insects. Works very well for hanging basket gardens. Plant in full sun or partial shade. Well-drained soil. Prune after flowering.

It is frequently used as a hedge plant because its stems branch off a lot of forming quite compact foliage agglomerations. It is also appreciated for its resistance to periods of drought and extreme temperatures and the beauty of its flowering. It is currently marketed as an ornamental plant in numerous nurseries worldwide. This species is characterized by forming stems erect low (generally nor exceed 25 cm) very branched and thin of green-red.
