FredG Posted June 2, 2022 Report Share Posted June 2, 2022 (edited) Some, especially those who visit my forum, will know that I started a collection of Mesembs some years ago. It comprises mainly Lithops and Conophytum with a mixture of other Mesembs thrown in for good measure. Oh there's an area of Euphorbia just for something different. It was a matter of growing something different without compromising the rainwater supply. Some Lithops and Conophytum have not had a drop yet this year. You can also get a great amount of plants in a small area. This is one of the other Mesembs, Sceletium tortuosum which has provided a fantastic display for a long time. The plant also, reputedly, has medicinal qualities. Quote Sceletium tortuosum being sold commercially in Cape Town, South Africa in March 2014. The Sceletium is ground up into a brown powder and typically ingested orally. S. tortuosum is traditionally used to fight stress and depression, relieve pain and alleviate hunger. S. tortuosum has been studied to alleviate excessive nocturnal barking in dogs and excessive nocturnal meowing in cats, both diagnosed with dementia.
