Generalities Conophytum truncatum
The Conophytum truncatum is developed like a succulent plant. These plants grow covering the whole land at their disposal. The Conophytum truncatum Is small in size; in spring, summer, autumn, winter it assumes a white colouring. These are evergreen plants, which means they keep their leaves year round.

Exposure Conophytum truncatumSole pieno
The Conophytum truncatum should be grown in a bright place, with direct sunlight. These plants don't like cold weather, therefore in the Spring it is best to set them outside only when the temperatures are above 15°C.We can grow a large part of the succulent plants in a cold climate; some species can endure temperatures below 5°C, but only if the soil stays completely dry.

Watering Conophytum truncatumTenere asciutto
Water rarely, about once every 4-5 weeks with 1-2 glasses of water , keeping the soil dry for a few days before watering again; when wetting we suggest avoiding surpluses, however to wet the soil deep down. These plants are very resistant to droughts; let’s avoid watering excessively; during the winter months we can avoid watering the plants located where there’s a cold climate.

Treatments Conophytum truncatum
Generally during this time of year we suggest a pre-emptive treatment with wide range insecticide and with a systemic fungicide, to prevent the attack from part of the aphids and the development of fungus diseases, often favoured by a mild and damp climate.

Soil Conophytum truncatum
Let’s prefer soft and incoherent, with elevated drainage soils.
