  •   The Gerrardanthus Macrorhizus Bigfoot Succulent is a rare caudiciform vine from the dry woodland regions of southern and eastern Africa, belonging to the Cucurbitaceae family. It grows from a dramatically swollen caudex base that stores water, making it a standout among drought tolerant rare succulents for sale. Collectors prize this bigfoot caudex plant for its unusual growth habit and its ability to thrive where most vines would struggle.

      The Gerrardanthus Macrorhizus Bigfoot Succulent gets its "Bigfoot" nickname from its large, rounded, potato-like caudex that sits at or above the soil line and can grow impressively wide over time. From this base, long trailing vines emerge with bright green, lobed leaves that give it a fresh, lush look despite its drought tolerant nature. As a caudiciform vine, its trailing growth habit makes it a true conversation piece, whether displayed in a hanging planter or cascading from a shelf.

      Detailed flowering records for the Gerrardanthus Macrorhizus Bigfoot Succulent are limited, but this rare succulent more than compensates with its striking structural beauty.

This blob plant succulent is a true collector's gem, rare enough to turn heads at any plant show and resilient enough to survive a 10-day trip without a caretaker.

    🌵 For Succulents
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
