Conophytum frutescens
Conophytum
Description
Conophytum frutescens is a unique succulent species, belonging to the family Aizoaceae. These plants form small, compact clumps, with individual bodies appearing as fused leaves, often in a variety of colors. The bodies are typically cylindrical or cone-shaped, giving the plant its name. Conophytum frutescens produces small, daisy-like flowers, usually in shades of yellow or pink, that open during the day. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires bright, indirect light. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Propagation is typically done through division or seed. The plant is best suited for well-draining soil to prevent rot. Ensure it receives adequate sunlight for optimal growth and flowering.
