Bring a touch of geological wonder to your collection with the Oscularia Major, a truly unique succulent. Known scientifically as Oscularia Major, this plant is a living stone, acclaimed for its pebble-like appearance. A Oscularia Major plant is a beautiful work of art. It has two or four thick, fleshy leaves that are a mottled gray or brownish-green, resembling a small rock. The plant has a deep fissure, or "split" in the center, from which new leaves and a lovely, daisy-like flower emerge.
Benefits
Its unique, pebble-like look makes it a great focal point on a desk, shelf, or windowsill. It is very low-maintenance and forgiving of a little neglect. Its compact size makes it perfect for small spaces. The most rewarding aspect of owning this plant is the surprise of its lovely, fragrant flowers, which can appear from the central split. Understanding how to water a Oscularia Major plant correctly is key to its health.
Maintenance
Caring for your Oscularia Major is very straightforward, but it requires a specific watering schedule. Water it only when the two outer leaves begin to wrinkle and soften. Never water it when new leaves are coming from the center. This plant thrives in bright, direct sunlight. A location with plenty of sun is ideal. Use a very well-draining soil mix, as this plant is sensitive to overwatering.
Placement
The ideal spot for your Oscularia Major plant is in a well-lit area where its unique form can be admired. It enhances the beauty of a sunny windowsill, a bright shelf, or as a centerpiece on a table.
