Aichryson porphyrogenetos Exclusive
Aichryson porphyrogenetos Exclusive
20 (30)cm, endemic of Gran Canaria, where it has become very rare, as its natural habitat, the laurel forest, has almost completely been depleted on this island. It is a very attractive species within this genus because of its broad leaves which will turn almost red in full sun (the photo was taken from such a specimen). The inflorescence and care are the same as described for Aichryson laxum. Seeds from two populations are available: plants with smaller leaves in the Barranco de Moya at some 650m and plants with larger leaves from the Barranco de Azuaje at some 800m.More Details »
