Unusual TROPICAL SUCCULENTS at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden — Ep. 313



Continuing on with our tour at the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens, Director of Collections, Brett Jestrow, takes us through some of the most unusual succulents, which grow in tropical, arid areas of the world. Not all can be grown in the ground, as you’ll see—particularly in such humid, moist climates as Florida—so they are best in containers.

Enjoy this episode!

    No parts of Dendrosicyos socotrana are eaten by the inhabitants of Soqotra. Even the milk and flesh of goats who have eaten it are discarded as they become unpleasantly bitter. Source: Miller & Morris Ethnoflora of the Soqotra Archipelago (Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, 2004).

    Nice to see P. filifolia getting some love. Such a cool, unique species. I believe it doesn't hybridize well. If it did, we'd see them coming from Thailand already.

    These are all SO cool! I now have some more plants on my wishlist 😀

    Super cool succulents. Wow must take years to get them that big. It would take forever here in SF for sure, not enough sun n warmth :T

    Thanks for posting a video showcasing these plants! As someone who has over 8 Dorstenia gigas and 3 Dendrosicyos socotrana in his collection, I was happy to see that other specimens are being grown elsewhere 😁
