Technical details:
Botanical name: Oophytum concinnum
Seed quantity: 10 seeds
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Perennial plant belonging to the Aizoaceae (succulent) family. Characterized by a slow but steady growth cycle, it develops compact rosettes of fleshy leaves.
Plant height: It generally reaches a modest height of 5-10 cm, with a similar diameter, making it ideal for small spaces, miniature gardens or compositions.
Uses: Primarily ornamental. Excellent for rock gardens, terrariums, succulent arrangements, and potted cultivation as a collectible.
Tasting Notes: It has fleshy, glossy leaves with a distinctive blue-green color that can take on reddish or purple hues when exposed to full sun. It produces small, daisy-like flowers, usually yellow or white, that appear in spring.
Hardiness and Origin: A plant resistant to drought and arid conditions. Native to the semi-desert regions of South Africa, it prefers temperate and dry climates.
Sowing and harvesting season: Sowing is recommended in spring (March-May) or early summer (June-July) to optimize germination. This does not involve "harvesting" in the traditional sense, but rather maintenance pruning if necessary.
Optimal germination conditions: Requires a constant temperature between 20°C and 25°C, moderate humidity (cover the seed tray to maintain humidity), and bright, indirect light. Avoid waterlogging.
Soil type: Requires an extremely well-draining substrate, specific for succulents and cacti, with a high percentage of aggregates (coarse sand, pumice, perlite). The ideal pH is neutral or slightly acidic (6.0-7.0).
Recommended exposure: Prefers full sun for at least 6 hours a day to best develop its colors and compact shape. Tolerant of bright partial shade in very hot climates.
Germination time: The first sprouts may appear within 7-14 days, but the process can extend up to 21-30 days depending on environmental conditions and the freshness of the garden seeds.
Pot or ground cultivation: Ideal for growing in pots, which allows for easy control of drainage and exposure. It can be grown in the ground only in areas with mild climates and dry winters, provided the soil is properly prepared and drained.
Quality Specifications: Our organic garden seeds are guaranteed Non-GMO (not genetically modified), come from varieties selected for purity and vigor, and boast an exceptionally high germination rate, over 90%.
