Meyerophytum meyeri
syn: Mitrophyllum meyeri
Description
Meyerophytum meyeri, a captivating succulent, also belongs to the Aizoaceae family. Native to South Africa, this plant is known for its unique, pebble-like appearance. It forms small, compact clumps with fleshy leaves. Its leaves are typically a grayish-green color, and often have a rough, textured surface. In the spring or summer, this plant produces small, daisy-like flowers. Meyerophytum meyeri thrives in full sun and requires very well-draining soil. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as it is susceptible to root rot. Propagation can be done through stem cuttings or division, allowing you to easily expand your collection. This succulent's unique form and low-maintenance requirements make it a popular choice for rock gardens and container plantings.
