Conophytum are small, winter-growing mesembs from southern Africa, valued for their wide range of shapes, colours and markings. Many species are slow-growing and short-lived in cultivation if grown incorrectly, which makes well-grown plants particularly important. At Desert Plants Ltd, we offer a curated selection of Conophytum species and cultivars, including rarer and less commonly available forms. Our plants are grown slowly under UK conditions and selected for health, character and long-term viability. Where possible, our Conophytum are seed-grown, resulting in natural variation that is highly valued by collectors. Sizes offered may be small, but plants are well established and suited to careful cultivation. Conophytum are typically active from autumn through spring and rest during the summer months. Availability therefore varies through the year. This page is updated regularly as new plants are added.
