Description
About Titanopsis Calcarea (4 inch)
Titanopsis calcarea is native to South Africa. It typically exhibits a squat and compact growth habit, with leaves that are often wavy or uneven along the edges and covered with small indentations or protrusions on the surface. The color of the leaves ranges from green to gray -green. It can produce daisy-like yellow flowers. Resilient on the outside yet tender on the inside, it bears a resemblance to Shrek.
How to care for Titanopsis Calcarea (4 inch)
Sun/Temperature: During the high-temperature period in summer, Titanopsis calcarea enters dormancy and requires shade and ventilation. However, in other seasons, it can be exposed to full or partial sunlight. Insufficient light may cause the backside of its leaves to turn white. Titanopsis calcarea is not cold-tolerant and should ideally be kept at temperatures above 50℉ during winter. If the weather becomes extremely cold, it can be moved indoors for protection.
Soil/Watering/Pot: Choose a loose and breathable soil such as peat or coir, with a high proportion of granular soil, Titanopsis Calcarea tends to have a very strong root system, so a deeper pot is preferred. Watering should be done on a dry and well-watered basis. In winter, when the light is low, you need to control the frequency of watering, otherwise Titanopsis Calcarea tends to grow in vain. We recommend adding something at the top of potting soil, either green or white to match its color.
Propagation: Fertilizer can be applied every three or four weeks from spring to early summer.

Shipping
We pack all shipments by hand.
We have many years of experience shipping live succulents and cactus plants. We pay close attention to packing and have developed an expert shipping method. All succulents are packed and protected with polypropylene cotton (this is a stuffing used for dolls). We find this is the most effective material for protecting live plants while in transit. It is important to us that you are able to Keep going and Keep growing without any stress about the quality of the product or packaging.
Shipping Speed
In general, it takes 3 to 10 days for plants to arrive after you place your order. All orders will be shipped out 48 hours after you place them. We ship the orders on work days(from Monday to Saturday) and all year round. In normal conditions, it will take 3-10 days for you to receive the package. Estimated shipping times are offered as needed.

EXTREME WEATHER NOTICE: The Next Gardener reserves the right to hold shipments during storms or periods of extreme heat or cold. This is to ensure your plant does not suffer while it is in transit.
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!!!
