Introducing the cliff cotyledon, known as Cotyledon Pendens, a vibrant member of the Cotyledon genus and Crassulaceae family; and is good for hanging baskets.  Native to South Africa, it is named "Cliff Cotyledon" because of its shape and its natural habitat preference for rocky cliffs and slopes. In the wild, you can often find this trailing plant growing on the edges of cliffs or hanging from rocky ledges, where it receives full sun and summer rainfall. 

Cotyledon pendens is a branched, succulent shrublet with teardrop-shaped leaves on dense, trailing stems that branch from nodes and can grow up to 2 feet long. As they mature, the stems become woody with brownish bark. When grown in direct sunlight, the powdery, glaucous coating on the light green leaves turns bright red around the edges. They are attached to the stem with a short petiole and initially sparsely covered with glandular hairs, but become hairless as they mature, giving them a smooth surface. 

When it comes to flowering, this species Cotyledon Pendens produces small, tubular bell-shaped flowers that hang down from the stems during summer. The flowers are typically orange red in color and can add a beautiful splash of color to the plant. However, it's worth noting that flowering in this species is relatively rare when grown indoors. 

Propagation of Cotyledon Pendens can be done through stem cuttings. All you have to do is take a healthy stem cutting, let it callus and dry for a few days, and then plant it in well-drained soil. With proper care, the cutting will develop roots and grow into a new Cotyledon plant. 

Watering Needs 

When it comes to watering your Cotyledon pendens, they are adapted to survive in arid environments, so they don't need frequent water supply as other houseplants. When you do water your Cotyledon plant, make sure to give it a thorough soak. 

In the spring and early summer, during the growing season, water is deep enough to allow excess water to drain through the drainage holes, and then allow the soil to completely dry before watering again. Avoid leaving the plant sitting in standing water, as this wet soil can also lead to root rot. It's better to err on the side of underwatering because overwatering can cause root rot and other problems. A good rule of thumb is to water your Cotyledon pendens when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. 

In the late summer, during the dormant phase, you'll want to reduce the frequency of watering. It requires less water during this time, so adjust your watering schedule accordingly. 

Light Requirements 

When it comes to growing Cotyledon pendens cliff cotyledon indoors, it thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a sunny window or under a grow light, where it can receive plenty of bright light throughout the day. However, be cautious of placing it in direct sunlight, as the intense rays can scorch the leaves. If you notice that your Cotyledon pendens plant is stretching or leaning towards the light, it may be an indication that it needs more light. 

If growing Cotyledon pendens outdoors, it prefers partial shade to full sun. It can tolerate a few hours of direct sunlight in the morning or late afternoon, but it's best to provide some shade during the hottest part of the day. If you live in a region with intense summer heat, providing some afternoon shade can help protect your Cotyledon succulent from sunburn. 

Remember, the light requirements of Cotyledon pendens may vary depending on your specific climate and the conditions in your home or garden. It's always a good idea to observe your Cotyledon plant and make adjustments accordingly. 

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer 

Cotyledon pendens favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well. Planting them in ordinary porous soil without good drainage will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining succulent soil, or ideally use our specialized succulent potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your Cotyledon succulent to thrive. 

Like other succulents, Cotyledon Pendens doesn't require frequent feeding or any ordinary fertilizer. During the active growing season, which is typically spring, you can fertilize the plant once a year. Use a balanced (5-10-5), water-soluble NPK fertilizer specifically formulated for succulents. Follow the instructions for the proper dilution ratio. 

Remember, it's important not to over-fertilize succulents, as this can lead to excessive growth and weak stems. Always err on the side of caution and use a diluted fertilizer solution. During the winter months, when Cotyledon pendens is in its dormant phase, you can reduce or even stop fertilizing altogether. By providing well-draining soil and occasional fertilization, you can help ensure that your Cotyledon Pendens remains healthy and happy. 

Hardiness Zone & More 

When growing Cotyledon pendens indoors, it is important to maintain a temperature range of around 60-75°F. It prefers average room temperatures and can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures at night. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperature fluctuations or drafts, as this can stress the Cotyledon pendens plant. 

Cotyledon Pendens is quite adaptable and can tolerate lower temperatures and average indoor humidity levels. However, it does appreciate some humidity, especially during drier winter months or in arid climates. You can increase humidity around the plant by placing a tray of water nearby or using a humidifier. 

If you are living in USDA zones 9-11, you can grow your Cotyledon pendens outdoors year-round.  It thrives in temperatures ranging from 65-85°F. If you live in a colder climate, it's best to keep Cotyledon Pendens indoors or provide it with protection during frost, if the temperature drops below 20 F. Cotyledon Pendens can tolerate a wide range of humidity levels. It can adapt to both dry and humid environments, making it a versatile choice for outdoor gardens in various climates. 

The Bottom Line 

Overall, the Cotyledon pendens is a unique and eye-catching succulent plant. With its trailing stems and fleshy, teardrop-shaped leaves, it adds a touch of whimsy to any space or in a hanging basket. This Cotyledon plant is relatively low maintenance, making it a great choice for both beginner and experienced plant enthusiasts. It thrives in full sunlight to partial shade and prefers well-draining soil. When it comes to watering, it's best to allow the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again to prevent root rot. Additionally, you can grow it outdoors year-round in USDA zones 9-11. Overall, with the right care and attention, Cotyledon Pendens can be a beautiful and rewarding addition to your indoor or outdoor plant collection.

I don't think Mike can produce anything below 5 stars. In his recent Christmas episode on the Naked Bible Podcast I was a bit wary of listening to it. I realize this is a review of his book here, but let me make my point. The problem with not wanting to listen to his Christmas episode is that I don't really care if Christmas was/is a pagan holiday. So, honestly, it wasn't appealing to me. Somehow I ended up listening to it, and I'm telling you the amount of information he crammed in there was FASCINATING. I'm not kidding. I was so tired of hearing that subject (because I've been born and raised into Christianity), but Mike and Trey did their thing and it had me on the edge of my metaphorical seat the entire time. If you listen to that episode (Naked Bible Episode 195) you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. And what's the point of all that I just said? It's that Mike doesn't do anything half way. All that he puts out is serious work that is worthy of much consideration. No Hillary v. Trump fact checking here (though I'm sure he'd encourage you to research what he's saying). The point is, however, that not everyone has the training that he or his contemporaries have. And THAT is exactly why it is paramount that we rely upon scholars who have said extensive training. I challenge you with this (something I've challenged myself to accept): You essentially know nothing about the Bible if you don't have not just Heiser's background, but other scholars such as John H. Walton. There are many to list, but Walton would be a good companion to list next to Heiser. If you're the lay-person, do yourself a favor and pick up this work, or The Unseen Realm (or both!) and any of Walton's work. Open up your mind and challenge yourself to realize that unless you are incredibly familiar with the Ancient Near East's way of life and thought processes, then it's highly likely that you don't actually understand what is going on when you read the Bible. Enter "The Bible Unfiltered." Considerations for the seminary student: This is a great book for those who need a quick reference on a particular subject. Heiser's name is well known, and thus to reference this book in one's papers, even for a one-liner, is to reference legitimate scholarship. I'm not advocating that one does one's entire paper off of just one chapter from this book, but my point is more-so that with Heiser's reputation it will be known that you're not quoting Joe Scholar who earned his PhD in I Do What I Want. If you know Mike then you know that he's done a lot of work to present to you CONTEXTUAL research on any given listed topic. For that alone the price is worth it (though it undoubtedly cost him more to do the research that it does for us to purchase the book). Considerations for the lay-person: 1. On p. 7, Heiser says, "If Bible study doesn't seem like work to you, you aren't really doing it." Yes, that's harsh, but so was Phinehas, Peter, Paul, and Jesus. (Even Bonhoeffer was harsh in his "The Cost of Discipleship")! Over and over again Heiser says on his podcast that Bible reading is not actually Bible STUDY (not yelling, I just don't have italics in this comment box). 2. This book is great for having a quick reference for subjects. You do not have to read the book in order to understand the content of any given chapter. I use this book to help direct me to other scriptures that I can't seem to remember. Here, Heiser treats topics with brevity, yet with depth at the same time--depth that stems from years of immersing hisself in the original cultural context, the surrounding culture's contexts, and original languages of the Bible. In other words, this book will act, for the lay person, as an appetizer that gets you excited for the full meal and subsequently spark a desire within you to finally take seriously contextual Bible study. If you've never read Heiser's stuff before, this is a great place for you to get introduced to his work. From here I'd recommend getting The Unseen Realm, and then Reversing Hermon. Follow all his other works at drmsh.com, nakedbiblepodcast.com, and moreunseenrealm.com (I'm not getting paid to say all of this). Considerations for the scholar: Rid yourself of your presuppositions, get with the times, and adopt the supernatural worldview of the Bible's authors, because yours isn't supernatural enough. (Can that be considered speaking the truth in love?...) (Pictures won't rotate for some reason. Sorry!). My hand on the book next to the Schuyler Bible shows the size of the book.

Content is better than the title!
Format: Paperback
The best quality of Heiser as a scholar/writer in my opinion is that he appreciates the academy but does not acquiesce to its influence. This is seen most in his correct interpretation of the identity of the sons of God in Gen 6 and the identity of Satan in Is 14 and Ez 28 etc. which were long abandoned and scorned by the academy. All 60 articles are well written with clarity and brevity!
