Bring a dazzling, jewel-like brilliance to your collection with Lewisia cotyledon. This spectacular, low-growing succulent features a neat rosette of fleshy, spoon-shaped dark green leaves with a beautiful waxy finish.

Care Tips:
-
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight or morning sun; protection from the harsh midday summer sun keeps the foliage and flowers looking their best.
-
Water: Follows a low-water routine—prefers letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, taking extra care to keep water away from the central crown.
-
Soil: Prefers a loose, sharply draining succulent or cactus mix blended with plenty of perlite, grit, or river sand to ensure absolute drainage.
-
Winter: Thrives in cold conditions and is exceptionally frost-hardy, but must be kept on the dry side to protect it from rot during wet winter spells.
