Cotyledon pendens is a fascinating succulent native to the arid regions of South Africa. It is characterized by its small, fleshy, pendulous leaves, often grayish-green in color, which form clusters on slightly drooping stems. The leaves may have slightly reddish edges, adding a subtle touch of color. This plant produces small, bell-shaped flowers, usually orange or red, which appear in winter, often attracting pollinators. Cotyledon pendens prefers well-drained soil and a sunny environment. It is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it an excellent houseplant or dry garden plant.
