How to Care Cephalophyllum, Growing Cephalophyllum, Caring for Cephalophyllum
Cephalophyllum are succulent plants that thrive in environments with plenty of light, minimal water, and well-draining soil. Basic care involves exposure to full sun and minimal watering, allowing soil to dry between waterings. Cephalophyllum prefers mild temperatures and may struggle in extreme heat or frost. Common challenges include overwatering, which leads to root rot, and potential pests such as mealybugs. During seasonal shifts, reduce watering in winter and ensure cephalophyllum has adequate light during shorter days, adjusting care as temperatures fluctuate.

How to Water Cephalophyllum?
Originating from arid regions, cephalophyllum has evolved to thrive with minimal moisture, boasting a high drought tolerance. It's accustomed to long periods without water, mirroring its native environment's infrequent rainfall. In cultivation, cephalophyllum requires watering once every 2-3 weeks, allowing the soil to dry out between sessions. This schedule ensures that cephalophyllum's roots are not subjected to excessive moisture which could lead to rot. As a succulent commonly grown indoors due to its low water needs, cephalophyllum benefits from well-draining soil that mimics its natural sandy habitat, promoting healthy growth and preventing waterlogging.

How to Propagate Cephalophyllum?
Propagate cephalophyllum using seeds or cuttings. For seeds, ensure a well-draining soil mix and maintain a temperature around 15-20°C. Seeds typically germinate in 2-4 weeks with adequate light. Cuttings can be taken in late summer. Use a rooting hormone and plant in a sandy soil mix, keeping them moist until rooted. Special considerations include avoiding waterlogged conditions to prevent rot. Propagation is moderately easy but requires attention to moisture levels. Steps: 1. Choose propagation method and prepare materials. 2. If using seeds, sow shallowly; if cuttings, snip and treat with hormone. 3. Place in appropriate conditions with correct light and temperature. 4. Water consistently without overwatering. 5. Transplant seedlings or rooted cuttings to individual pots when adequately grown.
How to Plant Cephalophyllum?
Plants in the cephalophyllum genus thrive in well-draining soil with moderate fertility, preferring a sandy or gritty mix. Full sun is essential for vigorous growth and flowering. Water requirements are minimal once established, as cephalophyllum is drought-tolerant, though consistent moisture is beneficial during growth phases. To plant, choose a sunny location, incorporate a gritty amendment into the soil, plant at the same depth they were in containers, and water thoroughly. Mulching isn't necessary. While these guidelines suit most cephalophyllum species, individual needs may vary, making species-specific research advisable.

Living stones
Living stones (the genus name, Lithops, translates to "stone face") are easily recognizable for their bulbous, nearly fused leaf structure. Their uniquely rocklike appearance is likely a survival adaptation: herbivores are likely to confuse them for pebbles, so they won't attempt to consume them.
Titanopsis
Titanopsis is a genus of succulent plants of the family Aizoaceae. They are small plants, with rosette up to 10 cm high. Leaves are truncate tip and rough warty little tubercles at the apex of the leaves. Yellow flowers appear in late fall. This genus includes about 10 species. The genus is Indigenous to the arid regions of South Africa and Namibia. The genus has a disjunct distribution, occurring in three separate areas of southern Africa.
Stone plant
Stone plant is a genus that consists of 100 species of flowering succulent perennial plants, native to semi-arid regions in the far west of Namibia and South Africa. Most species are clump-forming, a few are shrubby. The leaves are opposite and triangular in section, rarely flattened, the surface more or less velvety. Daisy-like flowers open during the day in summer, are borne singly and usually have yellow, rarely purple or red, petals.
Faucaria
Faucaria are a genus of succulents known for their thorn-edged leaves, which look like pointy little teeth. This explains the scientific name Faucaria, which comes from the Latin word for "animal mouth". They are small plants with golden-yellow flowers, and several are domesticated as potted plants or unique ornamentals.
Bergeranthus
Humbug vygies
Trichodiadema
Trichodiadema are small, short-stemmed succulents with flowers that look like daisies, but with red or mauve petals. Native to the southern regions of Africa, these plants have stiff bristles between their segmented sections that make them look similar to cacti. These attractive and distinctive plants are popular with ornamental gardeners.
