Carpanthea pomeridiana
syn.: Carpanthea pilosa
Description
Carpanthea pomeridiana is a fascinating succulent plant, native to South Africa. It is a member of the ice plant family and is known for its colorful, daisy-like flowers that open in the afternoon (hence the name 'pomeridiana'). The plant is characterized by its fleshy, triangular leaves that are typically green, sometimes with reddish hues. The flowers come in shades of pink, purple, and yellow, adding a cheerful touch to any garden. Carpanthea pomeridiana thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. It is relatively drought-tolerant and requires infrequent watering, especially during the dormant period. Ensure that the soil dries out completely between waterings.
