Dyckia pottiorum


 Dyckia pottiorum


Native to Mato Grosso do Sul this is by far the most beautiful  fanned Dyckia species of all.
Small and intriguing its leaves grow parallel to the ground and do not touch it. Leaves are also very fat and succulent. It can be pure white, red, pure white, pure green and the type form (a whitish golden form).
It proved here the flowers do not self polinize. They need other pottiorum plant pollen to make seeds.


 It seems to take ages to adapt to cultivation so seeds are most indicated.
It does produces stolons, very very short ones that keep close to the plant. they look as sprouts but they are stolons.
Seeds will be available in a week.
