High Quality Seeds: Our Whiteheada Bifolia seeds have been carefully selected to ensure successful germination and healthy growth. This species is known for its adaptability to dry climates and its ability to survive with very little water, making it an excellent choice for xerophytic gardens and succulent collections.
Special Features:
- Bifoliate Leaves: Whiteheada Bifolia is recognized by its pairs of thick, fleshy leaves, which grow symmetrically and form a compact structure. These leaves, usually grayish green in color, have a smooth texture and are designed to store water, allowing the plant to survive in drought conditions.
- Discreet Flowering: Although its main attraction is its leaves, Whiteheada Bifolia can also produce small, discreet flowers, generally white or pale yellow, which add a touch of delicacy during the flowering season.
- Hardiness and Adaptability: This succulent is extremely drought tolerant and requires minimal care, making it ideal for gardeners looking for a hardy, low-maintenance plant.
Watering: Whiteheada Bifolia requires minimal watering. It is crucial to allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. During winter, watering should be reduced to a minimum as the plant enters a dormant period.
Lighting: Prefers bright but indirect light. Although it can tolerate some direct sun, it is best to avoid prolonged exposure to strong sun to prevent stress on the plant.
Pests: Whiteheada Bifolia is generally resistant to pests, although it can occasionally be affected by scale insects or spider mites. It is recommended to regularly inspect the plants and use environmentally friendly products to control any infestation.
Cold hardiness: Whiteheada Bifolia is sensitive to extreme cold and should be protected from temperatures falling below 5°C. In regions with cold winters, it is recommended to grow it indoors or in a greenhouse.
Substrate: A well-drained substrate is recommended, ideally a succulent mix containing coarse sand or gravel. Good drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
Harvest: Whiteheada Bifolia is grown primarily for its ornamental value. Enjoy its compact form, easy care, and distinctive bifoliate leaves in succulent collections, miniature gardens, or as a houseplant.
