Aizoaceae > Titanopsis calcarea var. ,



They are small plants, with rosette up to 10 cm high.

Leaves are up to 3 cm with truncate tip and rough little tubercles at the apex of the leaves. They look like limestone and are hard to be seen in the wild.

Yellow flowers with 2 cm diameter appear in late fall.

Cultivation

The plants are calcicole (=they appreciate calcaire soils)

The plants need well drained soil and sunny exposure. Few watering in summer and not at all in winter

Division of larger clumps is the easiest way of propagation. Seed is also possible.

Cultivation is difficult because they fear watering excess.
