To the genus, fockea belong about eleven species of caudiciform plants, native to the African continent, where they are very diffused. They have a wide caudex, rather wrinkled, bottle-shaped, with fleshy roots, which in the wild usually develops partly underground, the specimens cultivated in the container are kept with the caudex in the air, in order to avoid the onset of rottenness.
Sunny to half shade
