Aizoaceae Family

 Pleiospilos bolusii

  This plant is original of South Africa, Cape Province. Very similar to the Pleiospilus nelii although can be distinguished of this one to have more extended leaves and with a triangular form, whereas those of nelii they are more circular and semispheric.

 
Formation of the flower in the center of two new leaves

It consists of a pair of leaves that are renewed year after year over the old ones which then decay and  dried. The flowers are born from the center of the new pair of leaves and they can develop several ones between September-November. Of 4 cm, yellows, returning to the orange and rose as they languish.

 Its time of growth is between June-November when always controlled irrigations can be given. 

 Full sun or semishade. Without fertilizing. It is advisable that they lose the old leaves, even if we must induce their rest by dryness. It can resist cold in winter if the plant is in dry. 

 It needs a substratum with good drainage. Flooding and excesses of humidity in the substratum cause very dangerous basal roting.

 The ideal, like in the genus Lithops, is to try to maintain only a pair of leaves to ensure ourselves that rot in the old leaves will not take place.
