Guide

The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.

Fenestraria rhopalophylla is a dwarf, leaf-succulent member of the Aizoaceae, its club-shaped leaves tipped with translucent "windows" that hint at a life adapted to intense sun and lean, gritty ground. Treat it as an arid-climate succulent: plant in a very fast-draining mineral mix, give it the brightest, sunniest spot you can, and let the soil dry completely before watering. Water sparingly only when the leaves begin to look slightly less plump, and keep it drier still in winter — this plant stores its own water and rots easily if kept damp.
