Conophytum bilobum
succulent
Description
Conophytum bilobum, a fascinating succulent from South Africa, is a miniature marvel with a unique appearance. Commonly known as the 'living pebble,' it features two fused leaves that resemble tiny, rounded pebbles. These leaves come in various shades of green, grey, or reddish-brown, often with markings that add to their charm. During the fall, the plant produces delicate, daisy-like flowers that emerge from the fissure between the leaves, adding a splash of color. Conophytum bilobum is a slow-growing plant perfect for rock gardens, containers, or even miniature gardens. This succulent thrives in well-drained soil and prefers bright, indirect light. Overwatering is a common problem, so allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. It is also important to give these plants dormancy during the summer.
