Conophytum Bllobum 80mm

Conophytum bilobum – Stone-Like Miniature Succulent | Rare, Compact Collector's Gem

Introduce quiet beauty and botanical intrigue to your collection with Conophytum bilobum, a rare, stone-like succulent native to the arid regions of South Africa. This miniature marvel is beloved for its bilobed, fused leaves that resemble smooth pebbles—offering a natural camouflage and sculptural appeal that sets it apart from more common succulents.

Each plant forms a tight clump of thick, rounded leaf pairs with a split at the center, creating its signature “bilobed” silhouette. During the growing season, it may produce small, daisy-like yellow or orange flowers that emerge from the center of the lobes, adding a surprising pop of color to its muted, earth-toned form.

Perfect for collectors and lovers of unusual plants, Conophytum bilobum thrives in small pots, dish gardens, or rocky displays. Its slow-growing, compact nature makes it an excellent candidate for limited spaces or curated succulent arrangements.

Features:

• Distinctive Shape: Rounded, paired leaves resembling two lobes or pebbles.

• Compact Size: Small, low-growing succulent perfect for limited spaces.

• Seasonal Flowers: Produces delicate, daisy-like flowers in autumn, usually white or yellow.

• Slow Growing: Requires patience, rewarding growers with unique form and blooms.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or morning sun. Avoid harsh midday sun.

• Watering: Water sparingly; allow soil to dry completely between waterings. Dormant in summer, so reduce watering then.

• Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix with added grit.

• Temperature: Prefers mild temperatures, avoid frost and extreme heat.

• Dormancy: Recognize its summer dormancy when leaves may shrink or appear wrinkled.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 80mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
