Highlights
Ruschia uncianata (Schwantes): A fun, stemmed succulent with speckled, blue-green skin. This member of the mesemb group has fused leaf pairs that make it look like a knobbly, segmented stem succulent. It is an easy grower and can reach 16.0" tall in the wild, eventually bending and sprawling as a ground cover. This species has shiny, magenta flowers of lots of thin petals that open during the day and close at night.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
