These plants are new to cultivation but so far I've found them fairly simple to grow and not nearly as touchy as some of the better known African Brachystelma

It likes warm temps so shouldn't be exposed to temps below 50F

keep dry in winter when it drops its leaves

Calibanus hookeri 5" caudex! Caudiciform These plants are new toCalibanus hookeri Family: Agavaceae. An strange caudiciform plant from Mexico. It is essentially a big tuft of grass growing from a woody caudex. The leaves are rough textured and bluish in color, especially as the plant matures. The larger the caudex gets the more individual tufts will form. Large, mature plants can have a caudex two feet or more in diameter with a hundred or more tufts of leaves. That takes many, many years and can be kept smaller
