Lapidaria

Slow growth and leaf renewal call for careful watering. A well-drained pot prevents persistent moisture around the base, especially in less active periods. Explore Pleiospilos.

General care

• Light: Very bright position, with gradual acclimatisation and protection from strong sun in intense heat.
• Watering: Water sparingly during growth and let dry well; reduce in dormancy and during leaf renewal.
• Compost: Mostly mineral, quick-drying mix in a pot with good drainage.
• Temperature: Avoid damp cold and intense heat without airflow.
• Maintenance: Do not pull off old leaves during renewal; let them dry naturally.
