Conophytum minutum
Conophytum minutum is a tiny, dumpling-shaped succulent from South Africa's western Cape, grown for its small body and daisy-like flowers. Its key to success is bright light, very sparing water, and fast-draining soil.
Conophytum minutum, called the lesser dumpling, is a species of flowering plant in the genus Conophytum, native to the western Cape Provinces of South Africa. It has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
