Botanical Name:
Titanopsis calcarea

Common Names:
Concrete Leaf

Plant Category:
Succulent

Plant/Product Description:
Titanopsis calcarea, commonly known as Concrete Leaf, is a rosette-forming succulent with fleshy, grayish-green leaves that resemble rough, concrete-like textures. The plant’s leaves are covered in small, white tubercles that give it a unique, almost sculptural look. In late winter to early spring, Concrete Leaf produces small, yellow flowers that contrast beautifully with its gray-green foliage. This hardy succulent is perfect for rock gardens, containers, or as part of succulent arrangements.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate a few hours of direct sun. Too much sun can cause the leaves to scorch.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining succulent or cactus mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Dormancy: Titanopsis calcarea is dormant in the winter and requires minimal water during this period.
• Propagation: Can be propagated by leaf cuttings or offsets.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.

Toxicity:
Titanopsis calcarea is non-toxic to humans and pets.
