Glottiphyllum

Glottiphyllum Species Mixed Seeds Glottiphyllum is a genus of about 57 species of succulent subtropical plants of the family Aizoaceae. The species are native to South Africa, specifically to Cape Province and the Karoo desert. They grow in rocks and soils incorporating slate, sandstone and quartz. Rainfall in their native areas is between 125 and 500 mm, especially in March and November. The plants have thick, soft leaves arranged in pairs, which are low to the ground, often grazing the soil surface. They have rhizomes. They sport yellow flowers with narrow petals, sometimes fragrant, around five cm diameters, which appear in autumn and winter. The species readily interbreed; hybridization is easy. Glottiphyllum plants can be grown in small pots in poor soil with sand and clay. They require very sunny exposure, and need moderate watering in summer and not at all in winter (during which the plant undergoes a necessary rest period). If overwatered, the plants become deformed.

Glottiphyllum linguiforme 10 seeds The species are native to South Africa, specifically to Cape Province and the Karoo desert. They grow in rocks and soils incorporating slate, sandstone and quartz. Rainfall in their native areas is between 125 and 500 mm. They are characterized by soft, strap-like leaves and large yellow flowers. The plants are generally low-growing and form clumps of compact rosettes. Glotts are considered very easy to grow and are quite tolerant of growing conditions. Glottiphyllum plants can be grown in small pots in a lean soil with sand and clay. They require very sunny exposure, and need moderate watering in summer and not at all in winter (during which the plant undergoes a necessary rest period). Seed can be sown at most times of the year. Avoid very hot weather. Sow the seeds in a flat seed pan. Ensure that there is adequate provision for drainage in the bottom of the seed pan. If the seeds stand in too much water, they will more than likely rot. The best medium to sow the seeds in is a sandy loam mixture. On top of this mixture, sprinkle a thin layer of coarse river sand, 2 mm deep. It is into this sand that the seeds are sown. Seeds should be sown 2 mm below the soil surface. Do not sow the seeds too deep. If sown too deep, they will be smothered and probably not germinate. Under ideal conditions, seedlings will grow rapidly. Plant the seedlings out when they are 3–5 cm in height.
