Anybody know what this is? Not sure if the leaflike growth is real!

[Aiko]

I would think a Monadenium ritchiei.

Watch your water for this one! Not hardy.

The leaf is real but temporary, i.e. it drops the leaves often (but it grows new ones eventually)

[williamsii823]

Yes, Monadenium ritchiei. As advised, watch your watering. Stay on the dry side.

[Aiko]

From my experience this one can take a lot of water when in active growth. Or at least not rot prone. Leaves, that is usually for me the sign of water loving succulents. I can't think of an exception (but I am sure they are out there).

I visited my brother in Kenya (their natural habitat) for a while and was asking around about them in nurseries. Few had them because they were not a good investment as they almost always died from rot.

Thanks guys, really appreciate the help!
