Rabiea difformis
syn: Nananthus difformis
Description
Rabiea difformis, also known as the Hottentot Fig, is a fascinating succulent known for its unique leaf structure and compact growth habit. It features fleshy, triangular leaves that are arranged in opposing pairs and often have a slightly rough texture. The leaves are typically green, sometimes with reddish markings. Rabiea difformis typically forms small, compact clumps and produces small, daisy-like flowers, usually in shades of yellow. This succulent thrives in well-draining soil and requires bright light. It needs infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot, which can occur at any time.
