Lapidaria margaretae "Karoo Rose" 15cm Pot

Also known as lapidaria margaretae, rose karoo is a striking yet colored mesemb with yellow blossoms. It resembles Schwantesia Lithops and Dinteranthus. The only difference between them is while dinteranthus and lithops, usually consist of one pair of leaves, rose karoo carries two to four pairs of leaves. Note that, each leaf of lapidaria margaretae is 1 cm wide and 2 cm long. As they grow, you will see clumps of three rosettes forming.

Rose karoo leaves are rounded with a pointed tip, they are thick, and usually pinkish or grey white at the base. They have short internodes and hold subsequent chubby leaves that support one another by creating compact heads. Lapidaria margaretae usually produces a single, yellow flower, with up to 100 petals and 500 stamens in the center. But the flowering isn’t always solitary. Two blossoming flowers may succeed the initial growth.
