Hi everyone, We were recently given some plants for our office, and we've been wondering what they are. They are definitely succulents, but have long (and rather elegant) tendril-like branches coming out of each cluster of leaves, with red flowers hanging from each branch. Some pictures are attached (from my phonecam, apologies for the quality). Does anyone recognise them? Giles
...or possibly brachyphyllas (brachyphyllae?) Having googled around a bit I've not been able to find any details on how to care for the plant; can anyone point me in the right direction? Specifically, we need to know: * What kind of lighting - full sun or shade? * How often should we water them? * When the flowers on one of the branches dry and the branch looks dead, should we cut it off? If so, how close to the leaves? Many thanks in advance for any help! Regards, Giles
also the plant can handle it on the cool side. mine are outside year round-I am in zone 9 California and the winters generally drop down into the mid 30s though more often around 38 on a few days. Low 40s common. If you are in the city it may survive outside since cities modify winter chilling to some degree. Just know your space!
Thanks, guys! We've put them inside on the windowsill - we have no outdoor space here, and it can get pretty cold in the winter - but they're getting plenty of sun. I'll make a note not to water them until they get absolutely dry, and will prune the dead branches off carefully.
