Conophytum schlechteri
syn: Ophthalmophyllum schlechteri
Description
Conophytum schlechteri is a unique succulent, appreciated for its compact size and intriguing shape. This plant forms small clumps of fused leaves, resembling tiny, rounded pebbles. The leaves can vary in color from grayish-green to brownish, with subtle markings or patterns. Conophytum schlechteri produces colorful, daisy-like flowers in the fall, often in shades of yellow or white, which provide a striking contrast to the foliage. This plant thrives in very well-draining soil and needs lots of sunlight. Water them sparingly, letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, especially during dormancy. Make sure the plants are in a place where they are well-ventilated, for the best results.
