Nananthus vittatus is a small, low-growing succulent perennial from the ice-plant family, native to dry parts of South Africa. Grow it bright and dry, with very little water, since overwatering is the usual cause of failure.
Nananthus vittatus, also known as the banded nananthus in English and the brakveldvygie and stryvygie in Afrikaans, is a perennial, succulent plant that is part of the Aizoaceae family. The species is endemic to the Northern Cape, North West and the Free State.
