Glottiphyllum regium
tongue-leaved mesemb
Description
Glottiphyllum regium, also known as the Royal Glottiphyllum, is a fascinating succulent native to South Africa. It stands out with its tongue-like leaves that are typically green and fleshy. The leaves can be quite long and are arranged in opposite pairs, creating a unique, fan-like appearance. The plant produces vibrant yellow flowers in the winter months, which add a splash of color to the landscape. This succulent is a good choice for rock gardens or succulent collections. It thrives in well-draining soil and full sun, and requires infrequent watering. Prune the plant occasionally to maintain its shape and promote new growth, and make sure the soil has excellent drainage to avoid the problem of root rot.
