Description
Pleiospilos simulans, commonly known as the split rock, is a fascinating succulent that strongly resembles a small, split rock. It consists of a pair of thick, fleshy leaves that are typically a grayish-green color and often have small, dark spots. The plant produces daisy-like flowers that can be yellow or orange. This plant thrives in well-draining, gritty soil and requires full sun. Water sparingly, and avoid overwatering. Protect from frost and ensure the soil dries out completely between waterings. Provide excellent drainage and bright light.
