Conophytum andausanum
living stones
Description
Conophytum andausanum is a unique small succulent that originates from the arid regions of South Africa. It's characterized by its fused, paired leaves that resemble small pebbles or rounded stones. These leaves are typically gray-green in color, sometimes with reddish or brownish markings. During the growing season, it produces small, daisy-like flowers that emerge from the fissure between the leaves. The plant's size and shape can vary depending on its growing conditions, but it typically remains small and compact. It is well-suited for cultivation in rock gardens or succulent arrangements. Use a well-draining, mineral-rich potting mix, and provide bright, indirect light. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during its dormant period. Conophytum andausanum is a captivating succulent for any collector.
