Kedrostis Africana

Kedrostis africana, also known as a Baboon’s Cucumber, is an interesting caudiciform that is native to South Africa. It is a member of the cucurbit family and is related to plants such as pumpkins and cucumbers.

It has a unique appearance with small succulent-like leaves that grow on long, trailing stems. It is relatively easy to care for and can tolerate a range of light conditions. Kedrostis africana can be grown in a hanging basket or trained to climb up a trellis or support.

Here are some tips for caring for Kedrostis africana:

1. Light: This plant prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
2. Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as the plant is susceptible to root rot if overwatered.
3. Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix that retains some moisture, such as a mixture of peat moss, perlite, and vermiculite.
4. Temperature: Kedrostis africana prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C) and does not tolerate cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
