male and female succulents Shop 'Ceraria namaquensis' Care & InfoCeraria namaquensis, now botanically reclassified as Portulacaria namaquensis, is a rare and slow growing shrub known for its thick, contorted gray brown branches that give the plant a bonsai like aesthetic even when left unpruned. Its small, round, succulent leaves are a muted blue green or olive tone and grow opposite along the branches. These leaves are drought deciduous, meaning they may fall during prolonged dry spells, especially if grown

Ceraria namaquensis, now botanically reclassified as Portulacaria namaquensis, is a rare and slow-growing shrub known for its thick, contorted gray-brown branches that give the plant a bonsai-like aesthetic even when left unpruned. Its small, round, succulent leaves are a muted blue-green or olive tone and grow opposite along the branches.

These leaves are drought-deciduous, meaning they may fall during prolonged dry spells, especially if grown outdoors in hotter climates. These leaves drop off altogether during summer when evaporation is at its greatest and the Ceraria plant enters a dormant stage.

Native to the dry, rocky landscapes of southern Namibia and northwestern South Africa, the Ceraria namaquensis can grow up to 2 feet tall, though in their habitat, they can be slightly taller.

Their slow growth rate and compact size make them ideal for pots, shallow rock gardens, and small-space displays.

During late spring or summer, tiny pale pink or whitish flowers may appear along the branches.

The blooms are not particularly showy but are a charming addition when they occur.

These flowers are dioecious; male and female flowers occur on separate plants, so seed production typically requires both sexes. That said, most propagation is done by cuttings, as the plant roots fairly easily in the right conditions.

When it comes to caring for Ceraria namaquensis, it requires full sun to bright indirect light to maintain compact growth and encourage strong branching.

Indoors, place it near a south- or west-facing window with maximum sunlight. Indoors, keep temperatures between 60–85°F for optimal growth.

Outdoors, it thrives in USDA hardiness zones 10–11 and must be protected from frost.

Temperatures below 30°F can damage or kill the plant. In colder zones, it’s best kept as a container plant and moved indoors during winter. 

Watering should be infrequent but deep. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering is the most common cause of decline, especially in cooler seasons. Use a fast-draining succulent mix, opens in a new tab, and consider adding extra pumice or coarse sand for added drainage. Pruning is rarely needed but can be done to shape the plant or remove weak stems. It responds well to trimming, which can encourage branching and a more compact form.

According to ASPCA, the Ceraria namaquensis is non-toxic to pets and humans, which adds to its appeal as a houseplant. Its drought tolerance, slow growth, and bonsai-friendly character make it a low-maintenance choice for collectors.  

Final Thoughts

Overall, the Ceraria namaquensis is a prized succulent for those who enjoy sculptural plants with a desert aesthetic. Its natural bonsai appearance, drought resilience, and suitability for small containers make it ideal for indoor growers, collectors, and succulent enthusiasts in dry climates. While it grows slowly, its twisted form and charming foliage offer year-round interest with minimal effort. Order your very own Ceraria namaquensis for sale today!

A decent oil pan but would benefit from being larger
This oil pan works decently but would be much better if it were slightly larger. At the size it is it is easy to miss the pan and make a mess. The pan holds enough oil for a bike or lawnmower but not enough for a car or truck. The plugs screw on well and don’t leak from my use. But the pan has inner lips that hold oil and make it hard to clean, would be much better if it were a smooth surface. The pan is made of thick plastic though and is well built overall, it just could be designed better.
