Description
Conophytum pillansii is a captivating miniature succulent native to South Africa. It is characterized by its paired, fused leaves that form small, rounded bodies, often with a smooth or slightly textured surface. The leaves are typically gray-green in color. It produces small, daisy-like flowers that emerge from the fissure between the leaves. It thrives in well-draining, mineral-rich soil and prefers bright, indirect light. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, especially during its dormant period. Conophytum pillansii is a charming addition to any succulent collection, appreciated for its unique form and delicate blooms. Consider adding a layer of gravel to the top of the soil to protect the roots from the sun.
