Fockea comaru belongs to the family Asclepiadoideae. (Though the Asclepiadaceae is a former plant family now treated as a subfamily in the Apocynaceae).
This plant needs a fast draining soil. Water when actively growing. It can grow all year, but water only enough to keep the caudex from shriveling during the winter. I bring mine in every winter and let it go dormant, watering only 3 or 4 times until new growth in the spring.
Fockea comaru is a slow growing plant but with time the caudex can grow 20 or more inches.
