Description
Drosanthemum flammeum, commonly known as the Flaming Dewflower, is a vibrant succulent native to South Africa. The plant is known for its brilliant, daisy-like flowers that bloom in shades of orange and red. The leaves are small, fleshy, and covered in sparkling crystal-like glands, giving the plant a shimmering appearance. Drosanthemum flammeum thrives in well-draining soil and full sun exposure. The plant requires very little water and is drought-tolerant once established. Propagate from seeds or cuttings, but make sure to not overwater the cuttings, because it can cause root rot.
