Attention Gardeners, are you looking for a plant that will make your garden stand out? Look no further than the Fenestraria rhopalophylla, also known as baby toes or baby's toe, and window plant! These little clump-forming baby toes succulents, hailing from Namibia and South Africa truly live up to their nickname. 

With their tiny, rounded leaves resembling the toes of an infant, it's hard not to fall in love with them at first sight! But wait until you get a closer look - these window-leafed succulents have transparent tips (like a window) reaching the height of 3 inches and 4 inches in diameter in their natural habitat, it almost seems like something out of a fairy tale. These tiny toes' translucent tips allow light to pass through them and reach the baby toe's underground stem, which helps them to survive in its arid desert environment. 

Let's not forget about those delicate white or yellow flowers they produce in the early spring and fall! It's no wonder why these baby succulents are often referred to as living stones - they look like tiny rock formations with rounded baby toes sticking out. Propagating baby toes succulent plants from seeds and offsets is the easiest way to enhance your succulent collection. 

These green toes are unlike anything you've seen before with their low maintenance. Imagine having this unique and eye-catching plant in your collection. Your garden will be the envy of all who see it! 

Watering Requirements 

Fenestraria can typically don’t need much water, so they are harder to kill than most houseplants; it can store water in its leaves. They still require infrequent but effective watering to maintain their cuteness and recharge their water storage.  To determine when it's time to water, check the soil in-between waterings and wait until the first inch of soil is dry to the touch before watering again.  

You should decrease the watering frequency to once a month or less in autumn.  It's recommended to give them a deep-water soak once or twice a month when the soil is dry, during the active growing period in spring and winter, and sparingly during their dormant period in summer. 

It's important to avoid over-watering baby toes or other succulents though, as it can lead to waterlogging or soggy conditions that can easily damage the plant. A baby toe succulent that has been overwatered can easily be identified by a crack or split on its leaves. Placing it somewhere dry, well-lit, and with controllable water intake can help solve this issue. 

Light Requirements 

The baby toes succulents should be planted in full sun outdoors and need a minimum of 5-6 hours of bright light daily to stay compact (usually refer to leaves that are smaller than usual, and that are closely spaced on the stem).  

If they are not receiving enough sunlight, they may produce leaves that are elongated, thin, and pale in color, rather than compact and succulent. Without enough light, the plant may become leggy and weak, and its leaves may lose their distinctive shape and texture.  

When grown indoors, place it in the sunniest place in your house. This baby succulent may benefit from shade in consistently hot climates. Growing this baby succulent in a west- or south-facing window is best. Most light will enter through a south-facing window. East and West windows are excellent, too! Northern-facing windows provide the least amount of light, so avoid them.  

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

When it comes to choosing the right soil or succulent food for your adorable baby toes plant, you need to be careful! It's like picking out the perfect outfit for a date - you want to make sure everything is just right so there are no surprises later on. 

You see, the amount of moisture in the soil can literally make or break your little green-toe friend. Too much water and BAM! You've got root and stem rot faster than you can say "Cactus." That's why we at Planet Desert have got your back with our specialized succulent potting mixGo to soil cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media, or regular potting succulent soil. This organic substrate has mycorrhizae which help to grow a healthy root system that makes all those spiky stems stand up tall and proud.  As an okay alternative, you can create your own potting mix by combining equal portions of perlite, coarse sand, and good natural potting soil. 

Natural fertilizers with a balanced ratio of NPK (5-10-5) also last longer and keep your soil alive by adding other beneficial compounds and microbes that encourage plant health and nutrient absorption. So, skip those harsh chemicals and give your succulent some love with some awesome organic fertilizer! 

Hardiness Zones & More 

Typically grown in hot, arid desert regions, the baby toes succulent thrives indoors in warm, dry surroundings. In general, a humidity level of 40% is sufficient to keep this plant happy and thriving.  

If you live in USDA regions 10 to 12, you can also grow these baby succulents outdoors year-round, but they are not cold- or frost-tolerant, so during cold winters, you should plant them indoors or put them in a pot and move them indoors during the winter if you live outside of these regions. Keep your baby toes away from cold, drafty windows and air vents if you are growing them indoors in a cold climate.

Terrible, look like a ghost
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I love La Roche-Posay but unfortunately, I finally came across the first product I truly hate from them. This product is a complete white mask on your face and does not settle in at all. You’ll be walking around looking like a ghost all day and it gave me a mild irritation to my eyes.

Leaves white cast, works okay under makeup.
Style: SPF 50, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
First time using this sunscreen. I have very sensitive skin and thought since my skin tolerates their cleansers and moisturizers surely it should tolerate the sunscreen. So far so good. It’s very calming on my skin (maybe because of the zinc), but it leaves a noticeable white cast especially if you have dark skin. I wear mine under makeup and have a separate sunscreen from another brand on days where I don’t want to wear makeup. The white cast actually acts as a blank base and helps my foundation to lay well. A tip I learned from makeup artists years ago. Sunscreens that leave a white cast cancels out your natural color and acts as a corrector, concealer and foundation to lay better and look more like skin. Think of it like painting on a blank canvas. The texture is not lotion like and is actually quite thick. make sure to moisturize well before apply this sunscreen. I’ll write an update if I notice any negative issues, but so far I’m content with it because of the purpose I'm using it for.

Safe for very sensitive skin

It is an excellent choice, especially if you have sensitive skin or want to avoid chemical filters. Minerals such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide act by forming a barrier that reflects UV rays instead of absorbing them.

Go-To for Reef-Safe & Light-Weight Sunscreen
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
Favorite sunblock to travel with. Appreciate the simplicity of it, and the fact that it rolls on and rubs in smooth. Of course the iconic scent is also a plus.

Great choice
Style: SPF 50 Roll On, Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
After I suffered a second-degree burn from steam, I was told by my doctor that I would have to keep my new fresh skin sun-blocked for up to a year to avoid any scarring or hyper pigmentation. This has been a great selection as it is a roll-on, Which helps a lot with preventing messes that can happen with traditional sunblock bottles. I also like that it is easy to travel with, and the fact that it is zinc based.
