Caudiciform Plants

Chunky, Funky, and Full of Secret Sass

Meet the plants that look like they came from a distant planet—or at least a fantasy novel. Caudiciforms, also known as "fat plants," are the ultimate oddballs of the plant world. With swollen, lumpy, and totally lovable bases (aka caudexes), they store water like desert camels and flaunt shapes that make collectors double-take and ask, “What is that?”

They’re weird. They’re wonderful. They’re your new obsession.

Whether you're into bonsai-esque Dioscoreas that look like turtle shells with an attitude problem, or twisted desert lollipops like Adeniums and Fockeas, this collection is for the bold-hearted plant nerd who lives for the rare and bizarre.

⚠️ Side Effects: Extreme attachment. You might name them. You might talk to them. We’re not judging.

🌵 Bonus: They thrive on neglect and praise. Mostly neglect.

Rare caudiciforms vanish fast—like, blink-and-it’s-gone fast.
