Fockea edulis crispa

Fockea edulis ‘Crispa’ is an unusual and attractive caudiciform succulent native to South Africa, prized for its swollen, woody base (caudex) and its crinkled or wavy-edged foliage, which gives it the ‘Crispa’ name. The caudex serves as a water-storage organ, allowing the plant to survive long periods of drought. From this base, twining vines emerge, bearing green, wrinkled leaves with a slightly crimped texture. Fockea edulis ‘Crispa’ can produce small, greenish-white flowers, though it is mainly grown for its distinctive form rather than its blooms. It thrives in well-draining soil, bright light, and with careful, infrequent watering. This plant is especially popular among collectors of caudiciforms and bonsai-style succulents due to its sculptural and unique appearance.
