Excoecaria Plant
This is an evergreen shrub with arching branches. I have seen plants three or four feet tall but it is reported to be able to grow to six feet tall. Typical plants have opposite, shiny green leaves with burgundy undersides. A variegated form is more common in the nursery trade. Inconspicuous white flowers are borne in the leaf axils. It grows best in part shade with moderate water. Most references say it is cold hardy to zone 10 but I have seen several reports of plants surviving temperatures as low as 30 degrees and recently saw a plant growing outdoors in Mercer Arboretum north of Houston, Texas. Reportedly, the sap is irrigating to some people.
Plants may be grown from seeds or cuttings. Cultivars should be propagated by cuttings.
My variegated plant grows slowly but steadily in a large container with afternoon shade. It is a selection known as ‘Firestorm.’ It is slower-growing than the typical, green-leafed form and sometimes a shoot will revert to green leaves. My plant tolerated a winter low of 27 degrees F with a hard frost with some damage to the variegated leaves but none to the green foliage. It died to the ground after 21 degrees but survived, resprouting in February.

Almost after 5 months, all 5 types of succulents sent are surviving well, infact I could grow more of the same kind by watching few youtube tutorials by the leaves of these plants in the same pot. It looks well and a miniature succulents’ garden in itself.

It’s only been two weeks since purchase and the plant does seem to be doing good. I watered the plant before writing this review for the first time since purchase. Hopefully once in two weeks is good enough for it.

Some of the soil had fallen off. But that’s ok. Plant was good. Got it specifically for the pot. Makes it easier to keep a dry table as all the extra water will be collected in the bottom.

Initially when the plant was sent it seemed in a lil bad state, leaves were falling off and plant looked very weak. Gradually with care the plan has been surviving and new leaves are coming too.

While buying this plant online I was bit sceptical, but now after seeing the packaging, the quality of the plant, I am pretty overwhelmed.
