Anacampseros Telephiastrum 'Variegata'

About Anacampseros Telephiastrum 'Variegata'

Anacampseros Telephiastrum 'Variegata' is a colorful succulent plant. Most of its lower leaves are deep green, while the upper leaves are variegated with purple-red hues. It is relatively small and has a petal-like arrangement of leaves, with filamentous structures on the top branches, making it easily recognizable.

How to care for Anacampseros Telephiastrum 'Variegata'

Sun/Temperature: It thrives in temperatures between 50-85 ℉. During winter, the leaves may become soft, but as long as the temperature remains above 40 ℉, it won't affect its health. It enjoys ample sunlight, but in summer, it needs some shade to prevent sunburn.

Soil/Watering: The growing medium can be predominantly peat-based with some perlite and pumice added, with a particle ratio of around 40%. When watering, bath watering is recommended, ensuring the soil is dry before watering.

Fertilizer: To promote full leaf growth, fertilization is beneficial. Organic or diluted multi-element compound fertilizers can be applied monthly or bimonthly.

Pot: Choosing the right pot is also crucial. Since its roots are shallow, shallow pots with proper drainage holes are suitable for planting.

Trimming: Spring and autumn are its peak growth periods, so pruning its elongated and weak branches can reduce nutrient consumption and maintain its shape.

Propagation: Anacampseros Telephiastrum 'Variegata' is easy to propagate through stem cuttings. Healthy top branches or offshoots can be cut, dried, and then planted in soil.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
