Description
Aloinopsis villetii, also known as the Hottentot Fig, is a captivating succulent native to South Africa. It's distinguished by its unique, star-shaped leaves that are typically a grey-green color, often with a rough texture. These leaves are arranged in rosettes, creating an attractive appearance. In the autumn, Aloinopsis villetii produces bright orange flowers, which add a vibrant splash of color to its foliage. This plant thrives in well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade. It is relatively drought-tolerant and requires infrequent watering. Avoid overwatering, especially during its dormant period, as this can lead to root rot. Provide good air circulation and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings.
