Discorea mexicana (Testudinaria macrostachya) belongs to the bulb forming succulents. It is an absolute rarity and difficult to get hold of. Yet at the same time it is very easy to keep, even being suitable for beginners, as it is robust and can even withstand longer periods of being dry.
It comes from Mexico and ranges through to northern part of south America.
Care:
Place the bulb on a large pot with terrarium soil, and keep this slightly moist. Some time after its rest period it will start to form roots. At this point a little more moisture should added to the soil. The roots can grow up to 10cm per day.
These bulbs can be over 100 years old.
When in stock usually delivered within 1 to 2 working days.
