Conophytum obcordellum
succulent
Description
Conophytum obcordellum, often called 'heart-shaped conophytum,' is a delightful succulent characterized by its distinctive leaf shape. This small, slow-growing plant from South Africa boasts leaves fused together, creating a heart-like form with a central fissure. The leaves come in a variety of colors, including green, grey, or reddish-brown, and often feature intricate markings. During the fall, these plants produce small, daisy-like flowers, typically in shades of yellow or pink, that emerge from the leaf fissure. Conophytum obcordellum is an excellent choice for container gardens, rock gardens, or as a unique addition to any succulent collection. It prefers well-drained soil and bright, indirect light, making it well-suited for sunny windowsills or protected outdoor areas. Water sparingly, especially during the dormant period. This plant is quite resilient and can tolerate short periods of drought.
