About Pleiospilos nelii Royal Flush
Pleiospilos nelii Royal Flush, of the Aizoaceae family, originates in South Africa (Karoo) and has spread to home cultivation thanks to its beauty and resilience. It stands out for a pair of opposite leaves resembling split rocks, a peculiarity that has fascinated botanists and enthusiasts for generations.
We grow Pleiospilos nelii Royal Flush at Succulentae, in the heart of the Almería desert, where the dry Mediterranean climate replicates the ideal conditions for the plant to develop its compact form and best coloration. The result: more compact, better colored and more resilient plants than those grown in artificial greenhouses.
