Conophytum subfenestratum Seeds

Conophytum is a genus of succulent plants native to the winter-rainfall deserts of South Africa and Namibia. Commonly referred to as "stone plants" because of their cryptically mineral-esque appearance.

One of the keys to successful Conophytum cultivation is an understanding of their cycle of growth and dormancy. Conophytums are winter-growing plants -- they start growth in late summer and early autumn, at which time most species also flower, and grow most actively in late autumn and winter.
Plants start to go dormant in early spring, as days get longer and temperatures get warmer. During the summer, the plants are more or less inactive, with new vegetative bodies waiting inside of the dried remains of the previous season's growth.
