Pleiospilos nelii Photo by: Valentino Vallicelli
is the popular split rock plant, looking like a piece of greenish speckled rock, and with a perfectly straight cleft right down the middle. Just so everyone knows, these plants are suppose to have one or two pair of leaves. Each year the old pair is consumed by the new leaf pair. If you water during the regeneration, then the plant may keep the old pair. Warmth is also a factor for a complete cycle for the regeneration to occur at the proper time. The cycle is just like Lithops.
