When a plant is named ‘Baby Toes’ (Fenestraria aurantiaca), it is guaranteed to be adorable! Their tiny, tightly packed club-like leaves look like many little toes poking out of the soil - it may sound a little creepy, but it's seriously cute (just trust us)! Plus, in summer, stunning yellow-white flowers appear from the middle of the clumps, taking this baby to the next level! Baby toes' certainly live up to the hype and are a must have for your indoor succulent oasis.
How to grow babies toes in a pot
- Choose a pot just deeper than the existing root-ball and position indoors in a brightly lit spot, or outdoors sheltered from the harsh afternoon sun.
- Partially fill the pot with quality potting mix, such as Yates Thrive Cacti Succulent Potting Mix.
- Remove the plant from the container and gently tease the roots.
- Position in hole and backfill with potting mix, gently firming down. Water in lightly.
- Feed lightly with Yates Thrive Plant Food Spikes Cacti & Succulents in Spring.
Growing tips
- Avoid having the plants sit in water as they don’t like having wet feet.
- Babies toes can grow well outdoors in a pot, if sheltered from heavy rains and the hot afternoon sun.
- Best grown in shallow pots as a feature plant or together with other succulents such as Haworthia spp.
