Antimima modesta

A small, compact mesemb from the extremely arid far south of Namibia, near the lower Orange River. Like most Antimima it is best treated as a winter grower. Give it full sun and a very mineral mix, water it sparingly in the cool season, and keep it dry and dormant through the summer heat.
