Description
Conophytum novicium is a tiny, fascinating succulent native to South Africa, belonging to the Aizoaceae family. It has small, fused leaves, forming rounded, pebble-like bodies that are often grey-green in color. It blends in perfectly with its surroundings to avoid being eaten. It usually blooms during the autumn, with small, daisy-like flowers. It needs extremely well-draining soil, plenty of sun, and very infrequent watering. These plants are ideally suited for succulent enthusiasts. When cultivating Conophytum novicium, protect the plant from excessive moisture, particularly during its dormant period to prevent rot.
