Conophytum lydiae
syn: Ophtalmophyllum lydiae
Description
Conophytum lydiae is a charming succulent species, prized for its small, rounded, and often intricately patterned bodies. The leaves are typically fused, forming a single, compact structure that can vary in color from green to grayish-brown. Their patterns can also range, including spots or fine lines. This species usually grows in clusters, forming attractive mats or small mounds. Conophytum lydiae produces small, daisy-like flowers, often in shades of white or pink, which bloom in the fall or winter. These plants are relatively easy to care for. Cultivation involves providing a well-draining soil mix, and limited watering, especially during the summer dormancy period, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Bright, indirect sunlight is ideal.
