Argyroderma Fissum Mesemb Seeds

Argyroderma fissum is a miniature clump-forming perennial succulent less than 20 cm in height with age up to 30 cm (or more) in diameter, that can form huge mats of bluish-green finger-like leaves which are quite different to the silver-grey, split-egg plant body found in the rest of the genus. The flowers are solitary magenta with a white centre, but also yellow, pink, or red.

Argyroderma is easy to grow. Argyroderma are more forgiving than Lithops of excess water (though it should be rarely given in summer) and thrive in light winter rains in temperate climates and were heading for summer dormancy.
