Conophytum meyerae
syn: Ophthalmophyllum meyerae
Description
Conophytum meyerae is a fascinating succulent, native to the arid regions of South Africa. It is another member of the Conophytum genus, known for their small, pebble-like bodies, consisting of fused leaves. These bodies come in various colors, from green to gray and brown. The plant produces small, daisy-like flowers, usually in the autumn or winter. It's a slow-growing plant, making it a good choice for container gardening. Conophytum meyerae requires full sun and a very well-draining, gritty soil mix. Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry, especially during the summer dormancy, or they will easily rot. Good air circulation is important to prevent fungal issues.
