Titanopsis calcarea
jewel plant
Description
Titanopsis calcarea, a remarkable succulent, is named for its resemblance to small, calcified stones. Native to South Africa, this plant features fleshy leaves that are covered in small, rough, white or grey tubercles, giving it a textured appearance. The leaves are arranged in rosettes and tend to blend seamlessly with their rocky surroundings. During the late summer or fall, it produces daisy-like flowers, typically in shades of yellow or orange, that appear in the center of the rosette. Titanopsis calcarea is a slow-growing plant, ideal for rock gardens, containers, or miniature landscapes. It requires well-drained soil and prefers bright, indirect light. Water sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Its ability to blend in with its surroundings makes it a fascinating addition to any succulent collection.
