Marlothistella stenophylla
syn: Mesembryanthemum stenophyllum
Description
Marlothistella stenophylla is a fascinating succulent native to the arid regions of South Africa. It's known for its slender, needle-like leaves that grow in a dense, compact form. The plant is remarkably drought-tolerant and adapts well to dry environments. It produces small, yellow flowers that add to its charm. This plant offers a unique textural element in succulent gardens and rockeries. When cultivating Marlothistella stenophylla, provide well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. The plant is relatively low maintenance once established.
