Nananthus pallens is a small, slow-growing succulent from South Africa's Northern Cape, grown by collectors for its compact, pale, tufted form. The key to growing it is strong light, very sparing watering, and a fast-draining mineral mix.
Nananthus pallens is a perennial, succulent plant that is part of the Aizoaceae family. The species is endemic to South Africa and occurs in the Northern Cape.
