Aloinopsis schooneesii — Living Stone Succulent

Description

Aloinopsis schooneesii is a small living-stone succulent with thick, textured leaves. It stays low to the soil and can produce bright yellow flowers in cool weather. It is a good choice for small pots and dry succulent displays.

Light and Soil

Give this plant bright light and gritty soil that drains fast. Let the mix dry well before you water again. For another compact dry-growing plant, see Faucaria tigrina ‘Tiger Jaws’.

Simple Care

Use a pot with a drain hole. Water lightly during active growth, then keep the plant drier when growth slows. Avoid soil that stays wet for long periods.

A shallow dish can make a good display. Try it with Sempervivum ‘Blue Ice’ or add a blue accent with Blue Chalksticks.

Small Plant, Strong Texture

This succulent grows slowly and stays compact. Its stone-like leaves make it useful for small spaces, sunny windows, and mixed succulent pots.
