Trichodiadema
Also called Crownfigs, Tuftleaf Vygie
Trichodiadema is a genus of succulent plants of the family Aizoaceae. It includes 32 species native to Namibia and the Cape Provinces, Free State, and Northern Provinces of South Africa.
The name "Trichodiadema" comes from the ancient Greek "τρῐχός" (hair, bristle) and "διαδεμα" (crown).
The plant requires sun exposure (although not too intense), and well-drained soil.
Propagation is by division of the clumps. Propagation by cuttings is difficult, because of the risk of rot.
