Conophytum regale is a succulent genus of the conophytum family. It is native to Namibia or South Africa and prefers warm, moist conditions. Properly maintained, the conophytum regale produces small pink flowers in late winter and early spring.
The Conophytum regale is a succulent plant of the genus Conophytum. Winter is the peak of its growth.
The Conophytum regale is native to Namibia and South Africa and prefers warm, low-humidity, sunny conditions. The optimum temperature for growth is 17~25℃. During growth, place the plant in a well-lit place and keep the soil slightly wet.
Conophytum regale is afraid of high temperature and humidity in summer, and pays attention to timely shade and cooling. Fear of cold in winter, moved to indoor maintenance.
The common propagation methods are sowing, cutting and dividing.
Watering: Keep the soil slightly moist during the Conophytum regale growing season (winter), reduce watering when it is hot and strong in summer, and increase the watering frequency appropriately to keep the soil slightly moist after autumn when the weather is slightly cool. Spring is the leaf growth period, avoid sun exposure, avoid basin soil too wet.
Fertilization: Conophytum regale fertilize once a month during the growth period, using diluted cake fertilizer water or succulent organic fertilizer.
Change the pot: change the pot once every two years, and change the planting time shallow rather than deep. After changing the basin, lay a layer of vermiculite or perlite on the surface to increase the water drainage of the soil.
Sowing: April to May or September to October indoor pot sowing, the temperature is controlled at 18 to 24℃, about 10 days after sowing germination.
Cutting: In May to June, cut the full fleshy ball leaves, cut them from the top, put them in a cool place to dry slightly, and then insert them into a sand bed, control the room temperature at 20~22℃, and take root 14~17 days after insertion.
Subdivision: More than 3 years of plants can be used by subdivision propagation method. In spring, combine to change the pot, break off the sub-plant at the base of the mother plant, and divide the pot seed.
Planting combination suggestions: raw stone flower, meat cone flower.
