Description
Conophytum ornatum, another intriguing member of the Conophytum genus, is a captivating succulent. Native to South Africa, this small plant is known for its unique, fused leaves that form a rounded or heart-shaped body. Its leaves are a grayish-green color, often with reddish or brownish markings. The plants remain dormant during the summer and come alive when the weather is cool. During its growing season, it produces small, daisy-like flowers. Conophytum ornatum thrives in very well-draining soil and full sun. It is critical to water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during dormancy. Propagation can be done through offsets or seeds. This plant is a perfect addition to a rock garden.
