Rare blue-green colored leaves, gorgeous vivid yellow-orange flower. Clumps in time. Commonly called "Karoo Rose". Lapidaria is a monotypic genus used nowadays to be included in Argyroderma. It's origin is in Southern Namibia and Northern Cape (South Africa). It grows sunken, on quartz plains or in crevices or red sand usually in Northeast-facing gentle hill slope in full Sun or under dwarf shrub in a succulent steppe with a wide range of other dwarf succulents like Lithops sp. and Anacampseros quinaria; approximately 700-110m.Water during the growing season about once every one-two weeks (depending on the humidity of the air) like a cactus and then leave it to drain well and to dry out completely before watering again. If in doubt, don't water; it is unlikely to die from underwatering. Do not over-water as they are very greedy drinkers and split within a day or so if given too much water Although the split of course disfigures the plant, this is not a major disaster as the following season, when the old body has shrivelled, the new one appears clean and unblemished.
