Succulent 'Split Rocks'

Succulent 'Split Rocks' 🪨 looks like a pair of smooth gray-green stones split down the middle. It's a slow-growing mimicry plant from South Africa, and when it's happy it puts out daisy-like flowers right from the split. It wants bright light with some direct sun, so a sunny windowsill is perfect. Water very sparingly and only when the soil is bone dry; too much water is the fastest way to lose it. Pro tip: when a new pair of leaves comes up from the middle, the old pair shrivels away. That's normal, so don't water more to "fix" it 💧. When it arrives, give it 2-4 weeks to settle in before you repot.

Sold in 2" or 4" pots
