Nananthus transvaalensis
Mesembs - Aizoaceae
Description
Nananthus transvaalensis is a small, clump-forming succulent native to South Africa, valued for its unique leaf shape and vibrant blooms. The plant forms compact rosettes of fleshy, triangular leaves, which often exhibit a green color, sometimes with reddish tips. The leaves have a rough, textured surface. This plant can produce daisy-like flowers, with colors that range from yellow to orange, adding a bright contrast. Nananthus transvaalensis requires well-draining soil and bright sunlight for optimal growth. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as the plant is susceptible to rot. These succulents are great choices for rock gardens, succulent collections, and container plantings, adding a touch of South African charm to any setting.
