Lapidaria margaretae
Karoo Rose
Description
Lapidaria margaretae is a succulent plant native to South Africa, belonging to the Aizoaceae family, and known for its unique appearance and adaptation to arid environments. This plant forms compact clumps of fleshy, paired leaves that are fused together at the base. The leaves are typically a grayish-green color and have a rough texture. The plant gets its name, 'Lapidaria,' because it looks like a rock. In the autumn, Lapidaria margaretae produces daisy-like flowers that are typically yellow, opening in the afternoon and closing at night. It is a low maintenance plant. To cultivate Lapidaria margaretae, use a well-draining soil mix and provide plenty of sunlight. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, especially during the dormant season. Overwatering can cause it to rot.
