🌿 Plant Care Tips

Conophytum bilobum is a small, stemless succulent from South Africa, belonging to the Aizoaceae family. It typically grows as paired, heart‑shaped bodies (occasionally nearly spherical) that form tight clusters. The leaf surfaces are chalky-green with darker green spotting, and margins often show a reddish or deep purple line. Mature plants reach up to around 7 cm tall, with each leaf pair up to about 3 cm across. The name bilobum refers to its distinctive two‑lobed form. 

Conophytum bilobum blooms in autumn, producing bright yellow (occasionally orange) flowers emerging from between the leaf pairs. It is relatively scentless. 

Native to:
Southern South Africa, often found in rocky habitats where its leaf bodies remain partially hidden among stones. Its clustered growth habit and leaf colouration mimic these surroundings, offering natural camouflage.

Water:
Follows a winter–spring growth cycle with rest in summer. Water deeply only once the soil is completely dry and new leaf growth begins. During summer dormancy, water sparingly—only when leaves shrink noticeably. This soak‑and‑dry regime prevents root and plant rot. 

Light:
Provide bright filtered light or up to around 4 hours of morning or late afternoon sun indoors (avoid harsh midday rays). Sufficient light maintains compact form and promotes flowering, while insufficient light can lead to elongation and weak growth. 

Humidity:
Prefers low to moderate humidity. Elevated humidity, especially alongside overwatering, raises the risk of rot and fungal issues.

Temperature:
Thrives in typical indoor temperatures around 18–24  °C during growth; it tolerates down to about −2  °C when dry. Avoid prolonged exposure to frost or excessive cold.
