Avonia papyracea
Avonia papyracea is a fascinating miniature succulent prized for its unusual white, papery scales that completely cover its slender stems, giving the plant an almost frosted appearance. Hidden beneath this protective coating are tiny green stems, while delicate white or pale pink flowers may appear during the growing season, adding an unexpected touch of beauty to this highly collectable species.
Perfect for bright windowsills, sunny shelves, or succulent collections, this slow-growing plant thrives in warm, dry conditions and makes an excellent conversation piece. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller spaces, where its distinctive texture can be admired up close.
- Other names: Paper Avonia
- Useful to know: Non-toxic - safe around pets and children
