You are purchasing a rare Gerrardanthus macrorhizus, a prized caudiciform succulent commonly called the Turtle Back or Money Bag plant. Its smooth, rounded caudex supports elegant silver-tinged foliage, creating a beautiful contrast between the solid base and delicate trailing vines.

• Rare Turtle Back Caudex – The swollen caudex has a smooth, stone‑like appearance that ages into a distinctive sculptural form. It is one of the most elegant caudex plants in cultivation.
• Silver Leaf Variety – The foliage carries a silvery sheen that catches the light and adds a soft, refined look. The leaves are heart‑shaped and appear on climbing or trailing vines during the growing season.
• 5 cm Caudex (Bare Root) – Caudex measured across the widest point, excluding the root system. A well‑proportioned specimen ready to establish in your pot.
• Shipped Bare Root – The plant has been carefully removed from soil, cleaned, and dried. Bare‑root shipping ensures safe transit and allows you to pot it immediately in your preferred well‑draining mix.
• Easy Care – Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered sun. Water thoroughly during the active growing season, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering significantly in winter when the plant goes dormant. Protect from frost.
