Notocactus concinnus, commonly known as ‘Crinkle leaf plant’, grows up to a height of 2.5 cm. It has fleshy, triangular, gray-green leaves that grow up from a central base and are "crinkled" at the top, having a flattened and much-ribbed sphere shape. The crinkle leaf plant's leaves are also covered in tiny hairs, giving them a fuzzy appearance. This winter-dormant plant has its origin in South Africa and belongs to the Cactaceae family.
Growth Rate
The Notocactus concinnus plant has a fast growth rate.
Flowering
Crinkle leaf plants bloom in the summer on a tall stem with small, tubular, Grey/green flowers.
Watering and Feeding
These cacti, in general, do not require a lot of water to survive, and overwatering is an easy way to kill your Crinkle leaf plant. Too much water can cause root rot. Fertilize your plant monthly in the spring and summer with liquid cacti and succulent fertilizer.
Soil
These plants require well-draining soil, such as sand. Standard potting mixes are usually too dense for them. So, cacti and succulent potting mix are best for container plants.
Hardiness
Notocactus concinnus plant is not cold-hardy. It has a frost tolerance of 5° C (41° F) and belongs to the hardiness zone of 10.
Light
While Crinkle leaf succulents can grow in partial shade, they prefer full sun exposure, which means at least six hours of direct sunlight on most days.
Propagation
This cactus can be propagated from seeds, but leaf cuttings are generally an easier way to propagate.
Notocactus concinnus or Crinkle leaf plants are low-maintenance and eye-catching succulents that look great in homes or offices.
