Grown from seed September 26, 1998

HABIT: A small, clumping plant that goes dormant in the summer. It is very similar in appearance and habit to Dicrocaulon but with smaller, more 'crystalline' leaves. Mine has yet to flower.

CULTIVATION: Meyerophytum needs to be kept dry in the summer when it is dormant, and I keep mine in filtered sun. During winter growth it likes full sun.

PROPAGATION: Easy from seed.
