Pleiospilos nelii – Split Rock

A true desert gem, the Pleiospilos nelii (often called “Split Rock”) is a fascinating succulent that looks just like a little stone cracked in two. Its thick, speckled leaves store water for long dry spells, and in the right light, it can surprise you with a daisy-like bloom bursting from its center — a tiny miracle straight from the desert.
