Often considered synonymous with Tylecodon schaeferianus, we are choosing to use the less commonly accepted name of sinus-alexanderi for these plants, as we grow another Tylecodon which, according to Steven Hammer, is schaeferianus, however, the two plants are so different from one another, that we do not feel they could possibly be the same. The plants we are selling here look most similar to individuals found in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, and grow into a dense mat of small, intertwining, branches with perfectly spherical green and red leaves. This species is technically a winter grower, but in cultivation can be grown year around, and does not necessarily need to go dormant. This is a very easy plant to grow, making a good entry point into Tylecodon beginners and a reliable parent for seasoned propagators.
