Conophytum vanherdiae
syn: Ophtalmophyllum vanherdiae
Description
Conophytum vanherdiae is a small, succulent plant native to South Africa, known for its unique appearance. It features a rounded, fused body that varies in color from green to brownish-red, often with attractive patterns. These plants typically grow in clusters, forming small mats or clumps. Their leaves are thick and fleshy, adapted for water storage in arid environments. During the flowering season, they produce small, daisy-like flowers that can be white or pink, adding a splash of color. To cultivate these plants, a well-draining soil mix is essential, and they require infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Ensure they get bright, indirect sunlight, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.
