Xerosicyos Decaryi..$20

erosicyos danguyi is a large liana with thick stems and fleshy round gray leaves. It is common in cultivation and is commonly called Silver Dollar Vine. Xerosicyos perrieri is also a liana with thinner stems and smaller, fleshy, ovate, green leaves. Xerosicyos pubescens is entirely different from the previous species. It forms a large caudex from which deciduous vines emerge. The leaves are lobed and semi-succulent and die back in the dry season and during prolonged periods of drought.

: A location with full sun is best, although Xerosicyos plants can grow in partial shade.
Temperature: During the winter months, Xerosicyos are kept at a temperature between 41 and 48 °F (5 and 9 °C) and watered only enough to keep the leaves from shriveling.
Water: These plants are extremely drought tolerant. A deep soaking once a month will keep the plants looking good. During the active growth period in summer, the potted plants must be regularly watered, allowing the soil to dry up before watering again. In winter, it is to be kept dry. Preferable not to water on overcast, humid, or cold winter days.
