Aizoon zeyheri

A rarely recorded succulent Aizoon from South Africa's Cape Provinces. The only wild record sits at a mild, humid coastal site with winter rain, so it is best treated as a winter-growing Cape succulent: full sun, mild temperatures, water in the cool months and less in summer.

No elevation recorded; the mild, humid climate suggests a low-lying coastal site.
