How to Care Cleretum
How to Care Cleretum, Growing Cleretum, Caring for Cleretum
The cleretum genus consists of hearty plants that thrive in a moderate light environment with periodic waterings; they prefer well-draining soil and temperatures ranging from 65°F-75°F. The most common challenges are overwatering, which potentially leads to root rot, and pests like aphids. Cleretum plants tend to go dormant in winter, needing less water and light, but require more care in spring and summer with increased watering and potential need for fertilizing. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent foliage burn, especially during hotter seasons.

How to Water Cleretum?
Watering Frequency: Every 2 weeks
Cleretum thrives in conditions that mimic its natural habitat, where intermittent rains followed by dry periods are common. This species is drought-tolerant and can sustain periods of low water availability, preferring a drier root environment between watering sessions. Consequently, it should be watered once every two weeks to maintain optimal moisture levels without over-saturating the soil. Typically grown outdoors due to its resilience, cleretum exhibits a remarkable ability to regulate water loss through its leaves during the growing season, ensuring survival even when rainfall is scarce.
What Are the Sunlight Requirements for Cleretum?
Cleretum thrives under bright, indirect sunlight for about 6-8 hours daily. Direct strong light should be avoided as it can scorch the foliage. Supplement with grow lights if natural light is insufficient, ensuring a spectrum akin to sunlight. Gradually acclimate cleretum to any changes in light conditions to prevent shock. A consistent light schedule helps promote robust growth. Refrain from low light conditions that can lead to leggy growth and weak development.

How to Propagate Cleretum?
Cleretum can be propagated by seed sowing, cuttings, or division but requires attention to light exposure, temperature, and soil conditions to flourish. Special considerations include maintaining high humidity for cuttings and providing a well-draining soil mix. Propagation can be moderately difficult due to these sensitivities. To propagate by cuttings: 1) Snip a healthy stem from the parent cleretum, 2) Dip cut end in rooting hormone, 3) Plant in a moist, well-draining medium, 4) Cover with a plastic dome to retain humidity, 5) Place in indirect light and keep at 20-25°C, 6) After rooting, acclimate the cutting before transplanting.
How to Plant Cleretum?
Plant cleretum in well-drained soil, ideally with a light, sandy consistency. They generally prefer full sun to partial shade exposure. Water requirements are moderate, but ensure the soil never fully dries out. Preparation involves loosening the soil, planting at a suitable depth (typically twice the size of the root ball), and watering thoroughly. Cleretum is usually hardy, but always consider species-specific needs. Preventive management of pests and diseases aids in overall growth and health. Plant spacing may vary as per species characteristics.

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.
