Fenestraria rhopalophylla / Baby Toes

About Fenestraria rhopalophylla/Baby Toes

Fenestraria rhopalophylla has an interesting nickname, "Baby Toes," because of its cute appearance. The green finger shape leaves with leaf windows grow in upright clusters, and the leaf windows at the top of the leaves can help the succulent plant get enough light. The beautiful succulent will produce delicate white or yellow flowers in the spring and fall.

How to care for Fenestraria rhopalophylla/Baby Toes

Sun/Location: Fenestraria rhopalophylla needs more sunlight to maintain its upright shape than most succulents. Put it outdoors in spring and fall, and ensure it can get at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. If planting succulent indoors, move it to the position where the Bady toes can receive bright light.

Soil/Pot: The soft succulent are susceptible to overwatering, so well-drained cactus soil is critical. Adding more medium, such as sand, perlite, and pumice, can help control moisture around the roots.

Watering: Like most succulent types, Fenestraria rhopalophylla is drought-succulent and does not need frequent watering. The ideal way of watering is "soak and dry." Allow the soil to dry completely between watering, and pay attention to watering the succulent sparingly in the dormant season, summer and fall.

Winter shipping

We insist on shipping succulents to our customers all year round. However due to the extreme winter weather, although we pack succulents with as much protective material as possible, plants are still at increased risk of frost on their way to colder areas. We highly recommend adding one 72-hour heat pack to your order or you can request a hold on the package until it warms up.

Please note that The Next Gardener is not responsible for packages that suffer cold damage without a heat pack. We cannot control the weather. Order at your own risk.

Hawaii, Alaska, and Other US Territories

Fortunately, shipping is available to Alaska, Guam, and other U.S. Territories. However, due to numerous factors beyond our control, including customs checks and shipping delays, free shipping to Hawaii and Puerto Rico is not an option. And we can not provide the 14-day quality guarantee for orders going to Hawaii and Puerto Rico. The buyer will assume all risk of damage when a delivery is delayed. We appreciate your understanding.

Sorry. No International Shipping for now!!!
