At Living Desert Plants, we specialise in the weird and the wonderful of the succulent world. Nothing exemplifies this more than the two rarest mutations one can find in plants: cresting and variegation.
We primarily stock variegated plants, and have a wide range available, with a focus on Aeonium, Crassula, Echeveria, Haworthia and cacti as a whole. We also have a few crested specimens, and even some plants with both mutations.
Cresting, also called fasciation, is a mutation of the apical meristem (or growing point) of the plant that causes wide, horizontal growth forms. Variegation is a mutation of the chlorophyll-producing chloroplasts that causes a variety of colours to replace the normal green, including white, yellow, orange, red and sometimes even black. These deviations from the norm create individual plants that are not only beautiful, but entirely unique. No two plants with these forms are identical, which makes them sought after centrepieces for any succulent or cactus collection.
