Conophytum carpianum

A small cone plant (Conophytum) from the Cape Provinces of South Africa, known from very few records and little published detail. Grow it like other Conophytum: very bright light, a mineral gritty mix, a growing season with careful watering and a dry summer rest with only occasional misting.
