Also known as ‘Pickle-plant’. This unique plant has small-sized leaves covered with tiny white hairs. The leaves grow to about 2.5 cm in length and are light green in color. In the summer months, yellow flowers appear. It is drought-resistant and requires infrequent watering. Suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces. Origin: South Africa (Eastern Cape).
Ornamental plant for rock gardens.
Care: Requires full sunlight in well-ventilated areas. Tolerates extreme temperatures and can grow in warm climates, while it can withstand up to -5 °C only if the soil is dry.
Watering: Do not water if the soil is still wet. It is recommended to water once a week in spring and summer, and to completely stop watering in winter. The best soil is one that drains well, e.g., a mix of peat and pumice stone. Frequent fertilization is not necessary; diluting the fertilizer with watering once a year is sufficient.
