Description
fairy tale plant succulent Tylecodon schaeferianus – Fairy Tale PlantDescription Light Soil Water Hardiness The Tylecodon schaeferianus, affectionately known as the "Fairy Tale Plant," is a miniature succulent that looks like it belongs in a fantasy forest. It is a "caudiciform" or pachycaul plant, meaning it develops a thick, swollen, and gnarled base (caudex) with peeling, papery bark. From this ancient looking trunk, tiny, egg shaped green leaves emerge, giving it the appearance of a microscopic, weathered tree.

The Tylecodon schaeferianus, affectionately known as the "Fairy Tale Plant," is a miniature succulent that looks like it belongs in a fantasy forest. It is a "caudiciform" or pachycaul plant, meaning it develops a thick, swollen, and gnarled base (caudex) with peeling, papery bark. From this ancient-looking trunk, tiny, egg-shaped green leaves emerge, giving it the appearance of a microscopic, weathered tree.
This rare gem hails from the arid, rocky regions of Namibia and the Namaqualand in South Africa. It is a desert specialist, having evolved to store water in its woody trunk to survive the harsh, dry winters of its native habitat.
The flowering stage of the Fairy Tale Plant adds to its mystique. It produces small, tubular, trumpet-shaped flowers that are usually a pale pink or creamy white with delicate maroon or purple stripes. These blooms appear on thin stalks and provide a soft, elegant contrast to the rugged, "crusty" appearance of the trunk.
-
Bright Indirect Light. It loves light but can be sensitive to intense, direct afternoon sun which may scorch its tiny leaves.
Extremely Gritty/Inorganic. Use a mix of pumice, lava rock, and coarse sand. It requires maximum drainage to protect the caudex.
Careful & Seasonal. This is a winter grower. Water more regularly in autumn/winter when leaves are present, and keep nearly bone-dry in summer dormancy. -
10 to 11. Almost exclusively grown as an indoor specialty plant in temperate regions.

Glowing Orbs can be fun.
My dog loves these balls. He can’t break them, which is hilarious. The fact that they glow and double as a cognitive toy when you hide treats inside is a huge bonus.
My dog is literally darker than the night. We leave the ball near a lamp for 10–15 minutes, then take it outside and throw it. Watching a pitch-black blur sprint at full speed and suddenly seeing a glowing orb bouncing through the night is unreal.
Great toy. Highly recommend.

The ideal fetch ball
Our dog is obsessed with these. They bounce well, they’re squishy enough to meet his chewing needs but strong enough to not get destroyed. We do replace them every 8-10 months because after 2-3 20 min fetch sessions almost everyday they do rip. They have a nice weight to them so they’re easy to hurl 20-30 yards.

The best for fetching enthusiasts
We have two lab mix dogs that love to play fetch but also have very strong jaws and sharp teeth. Tennis balls last about 10 seconds. I have used these for several years now and they are the best. They glow in the dark for night fetching, have two holes and are hollow so they whistle when you throw them. The dogs chew them like gum when not fetching and they hold up. They last about a year before starting to tear (this is with almost daily use). These balls are their favorites and get they upset if I use something else.
