Oophytum oviforme Seeds

Oophytum oviforme is a mesemb succulent plant from South Africa, in the Aizoaceae family.

It is commonly known as Living Stones and it is a succulent that closely resembles a pile of stones, hence the common name. They clump with age and the colours range from green, to orange through to a purple-brown colour. The colouring changes with the age of the plant and with the seasons. Each individual 'stone' can reach 10cm in height.

Oophytum Species grow best in coarse, sandy substrate. They love rather shallow but comparatively wide pots, where the substrate does not become wet and clammy in the deep part easily; under such conditions, they will over the years grow to form large clumps.
