Ibervillea Tenuisecta 130mm

Ibervillea tenuisecta – Sculptural Form Meets Botanical Rarity

Introduce a truly extraordinary piece to your plant collection with Ibervillea tenuisecta, an exceptional caudiciform succulent native to the arid landscapes of the southwestern United States and Mexico. Also known as Cutleaf Globeberry or Slimlobe Globeberry, this rare and captivating species combines rugged resilience with delicate beauty—making it a top pick for collectors and lovers of the unusual.

A Living Sculpture

Architectural Caudex
At the heart of this plant is its large, swollen caudex—a natural water reservoir that enables survival in dry, challenging climates. Over time, the caudex becomes increasingly gnarled and textured, developing into a striking sculptural centerpiece.

Graceful Vines & Lacy Leaves
Emerging from the caudex are slender, vining stems adorned with finely cut, deeply lobed foliage. The airy, lacy leaves provide a graceful contrast to the plant’s robust base, offering visual interest throughout the growing season.

Rare & Collectible
With its unique form and slow growth habit, Ibervillea tenuisecta is a prized specimen for caudiciform collectors, succulent lovers, and botanical enthusiasts seeking something truly different.

Simple, Rewarding Care

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or light shade—ideal for greenhouses, bright windowsills, or filtered outdoor sun.
• Water: Water moderately during the active growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to fully dry between waterings. Reduce watering in dormancy.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining cactus or succulent mix 
• Growth Habit: Deciduous in winter; vines die back while the caudex rests.

Ideal For

• Caudiciform and succulent collectors
• Unique container gardens or bonsai-style displays
• Xeric and arid-themed plant collections
• Indoor greenhouses and sunny windows
• Conversation pieces in botanical displays

Ibervillea tenuisecta is more than a plant—it’s a sculptural expression of survival and beauty.
Add this botanical gem to your collection and enjoy one of nature’s most intriguing designs.
