Plant/Product Description:
The Argyoderma pearsonii, commonly known as Stone Plant or Living Stone, is a unique succulent native to the arid regions of South Africa. Its smooth, gray-green, oval-shaped leaves form small clusters that mimic the appearance of stones, blending seamlessly into its natural rocky habitat. In late autumn to winter, it produces vibrant daisy-like flowers in shades of pink or purple, creating a striking contrast against its stone-like foliage. Ideal for collectors, rock gardens, or small containers, this mimicry plant thrives with minimal care and adds an exotic touch to any space.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light to full sun. Protect from intense afternoon sun to prevent leaf scorch.
- Water: Water sparingly and allow soil to dry out completely between waterings. Avoid watering during its dormant summer period.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining sandy cactus or succulent mix with added perlite or pumice to mimic its natural habitat.
- Propagation: Propagate through seeds or by division of clumps. Allow divided sections to callous before replanting in well-draining soil.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs. Regular inspections keep the plant healthy.
Toxicity:
Stone Plant is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe choice for homes and gardens.
