Mesemb
Description
Conophytum obcordellum declinatum, a fascinating succulent, belongs to the ice plant family. Native to South Africa, this small plant is characterized by its unique, fused leaves that form a rounded or heart-shaped body. The body's color ranges from gray to green, often with reddish or brownish markings. This plant is dormant during the summer months and is activated when the weather cools. During its growing season, it produces small, daisy-like flowers. Conophytum obcordellum declinatum thrives in very well-draining soil and full sun. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during dormancy. Propagation can be done through offsets or seeds. It is a perfect addition to a rock garden or container planting.
