Cotyledon Oophylla Asian round form is an absolute showstopper and one of the most popular and attractive cultivars of Cotyledon orbiculata. Originally published as a variety by Dinter, it now has only cultivar status, and it's not hard to see why. This stunning sub-shrub, originating from southern Africa, boasts unique features such as shorter leaves, which are somewhat egg-shaped, hence the name oophylla, and bright red pendulous flowers.
The leaves, stems, and flowers of Cotyledon Oophylla Asian round form have a powdery waxy coating that helps reflect sunlight and conserve water. The deep-reddish margins of the leaves add an extra touch of color to the grey-green to purple base. It's essential not to touch the leaves as this may damage their bloom. The stem, which can be erect or reclining, is fleshy, leafless, elongated, up to 25 cm in height, and 2 cm in diameter, with the tips growing upward simple or once or twice divided in part, often buried underground.
This dwarf variety of Cotyledon orbiculata is highly adaptable to arid environments and can thrive in a range of conditions. Its resilience to harsh sunlight and ability to retain moisture make it a low-maintenance addition to any indoor or outdoor garden. The bright red, pendulous flowers in compact paniculate clusters during winter are a sight to behold and add a pop of color to any collection.
Overall, Cotyledon Oophylla Asian round form is a stunning and unique cultivar that will undoubtedly make a statement in any succulent collection. Its striking appearance, low-maintenance nature, and resilience make it a must-have for any plant enthusiast.
