Fenestraria Baby's Toes 80mm

Fenestraria ‘Baby’s Toes’ is a charming, low-growing succulent named for its small, finger-like leaves that resemble baby toes. Native to South Africa, this plant has thick, upright, cylindrical leaves with translucent "leaf windows" at the tips, allowing sunlight to penetrate deep into the plant for photosynthesis—an adaptation for surviving in harsh desert conditions.
