    The Silver Peak Pig's Ear Plant (Cotyledon orbiculata 'Silver Peak') is a stunning and hardy succulent known for its thick, fleshy leaves covered in a silvery-gray coating. Originating from South Africa, this drought-tolerant plant is an excellent choice for both indoor and outdoor gardens. The Silver Peak is highly sought after due to its ability to thrive in dry conditions while maintaining its unique appearance year-round. Its rounded, paddle-like leaves resemble pig's ears, adding a playful touch to any plant collection. When in bloom, this succulent produces clusters of charming, bell-shaped flowers in shades of orange or red. Ideal for low-maintenance gardens or as a standout addition to succulent arrangements, the Silver Peak Pig's Ear Plant is versatile and easy to care for. It can adapt to various growing conditions, making it a favorite among beginner gardeners and succulent enthusiasts alike.

    • Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to ensure proper drainage. Water sparingly, especially during the colder months when the plant enters dormancy.
    • Sunlight: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light or full sun. For outdoor planting, select a spot that receives at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Indoors, place near a sunny window but avoid direct afternoon sun to prevent leaf burn. Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures between 60°F and 80°F but can tolerate occasional drops to 40°F. Avoid exposure to freezing temperatures as prolonged cold can damage the plant.
    • Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus soil mix. A sandy or gritty substrate will help prevent water retention, which is crucial for this drought-tolerant plant. Ensure the pot has adequate drainage to avoid soggy soil. Propagation: Easily propagated through leaf or stem cuttings. Allow cuttings to dry for a few days before planting in well-draining soil to prevent rot. Roots typically form within a few weeks under optimal conditions.
    • Foliage: Thick, oval-shaped leaves covered with a silvery coating, giving the plant its distinctive frosted appearance. The leaves are smooth and fleshy, with a slightly curved, "pig's ear" shape, which makes the plant visually striking and unique. Flowers: Produces bell-shaped flowers that range from orange to red. These flowers bloom on long stalks, typically appearing during the late summer to early fall, adding a burst of color to the silvery foliage.
    • Size: Typically grows up to 12 inches tall and spreads out to about 18 inches wide. This compact size makes it ideal for container gardens, small spaces, or as a tabletop plant in an indoor setting. Texture: The plant's leaves are firm and thick to the touch, with a smooth surface that glistens under light due to its protective waxy layer. This layer helps the plant conserve moisture and makes it drought-tolerant.

    Testimonials

    "Came in perfect condition--thank you!"

    Natalie

    "Amazing Plants! I was so happy to see these way larger than the plants pictured because I know how slow most cycads grow."

    Matthew

    "This is the first time I've ever ordered plants online, so I had no idea what to expect. When I saw the description of 'comes in a 4" growers' pot' I figured I'd be getting some fairly small plants--nope! The bamboo palms were fully 2' tall from root to top leaf, and perfectly healthy. All 5 plants were VERY well secured in their box, to the point that the bottom layer was even spray-foamed to the cardboard! I couldn't ask for a better experience and I'm so excited to see these plants grow. Five stars!"

    Nathaniel

    "Thrilled with my purchase! This seller went above any beyond! The packaging was very careful, the plants are so much bigger than I expected, and I was given more than what was depicted in the item description. 10/10 all round!"

    Trisha

    "This is SO BEAUTIFUL! Packaging was perfect and efficient, plant was in excellent condition. I'm in love with this plant and I will definitely order more."
