It is a winter-growing plant and will be dormant in the summer. New leaves will usually appear in the autumn. It thrives in areas with bright sunlight with partial shade.
Care & Growing Tips
-
Prefers bright light but avoids intense direct sun, especially in hot afternoons.bring indoors if temperature drops too low.
-
Use a fast-draining, porous soil mix (succulent/cactus mix or gritty, inorganic substrate) to prevent root rot.
-
Follow a “soak-and-dry” watering method: water deeply but rarely; allow the soil to dry completely before watering again. Avoid over-watering — especially during dormancy.
This Conophytum pellucidum is a perfect choice for plant lovers who enjoy low-maintenance succulents that still offer unique textures and natural character.
