Xerophyta Humilis

Xerophyta humilis, scientifically known as Xerophyta humilis, is a hardy succulent native to southern Africa. This plant is particularly adapted to arid environments, thriving in hot, dry climates with minimal rainfall. Its compact growth habit and thick, fleshy leaves allow it to store water efficiently, making it a resilient species. Often referred to as the "skeleton plant," it is admired for its unique, spiky appearance and low maintenance requirements. Xerophyta humilis is a popular choice for rock gardens and xeriscaping due to its ornamental value and ecological benefits.
