Conophytum luiseae is a rare, miniature succulent from South Africa, belonging to the "living stone" family. This charming plant forms small, rounded clumps of paired leaves shaped like little dumplings or pebbles. Its soft green to bluish-green skin is often speckled with red, giving it a unique textured look. A delight for collectors and perfect for small pots or windowsill trays.
2️⃣ Flower Details
In autumn, Conophytum luiseae surprises with a vibrant display of daisy-like flowers, typically bright pink to purple with a yellow center. The flowers emerge from the cleft between the fused leaves and bloom in the late afternoon, adding unexpected beauty to this unusual plant.
