We are, of course, seeking photos of species not yet shown in the gallery but not only that, we are also looking for better pictures than those already present.

Cultivation and Propagation: Although not easy to grow, it is nonetheless easier and quicker growing than the others Pseudolithos and grows quite well in a greenhouse, it enjoy surprising amounts of water when it is growing. It needs a very fast draining soil and protection from cold and damp, but it doesn’t like to get bone dry, even in winter, when plants must receive regular light watering, this species is comparatively quite frost resistant, but the minimum temperature must not lower below 0° C (anyway it can tolerate occasional light frost for short period), with adequate water supply this species can flower all the winter long . It come well from seed, does reasonably well in cultivation if given the right conditions. Since it is a slow growing branching plant it can stay for many years in a small container
But it remains a quite expensive rarity.
