Pleiospilos Nelii Schwantes Succulent Plants
Meet the mesmerizing Pleiospilos Nelii Schwantes – a stemless, clump-forming succulent often mistaken for a living stone. This rare Mesemb species features nearly spherical leaves with a deep central fissure and scattered dark dots, mimicking the texture of rocky terrain.
Each year, it produces a new pair of leaves from within the old ones, similar to Lithops and Conophytums. When in bloom, it surprises with bright yellow flowers that contrast beautifully against its muted grey-green or brownish foliage.
