Glottiphyllum cruciatum is a species that are part of over 50 succulents that are subtropical plants of the family Aizoaceae. The plant has many synonyms including Glottiphyllum angustum.[1]
The species are native to South Africa, but are under threat due to Ostrich farming removing their habitat. It is believed that only 250 plants remain on a small one hectare reserve in South Africa.[1]
Culture
Glottiphyllum plants can be grown in small pots in a lean soil with sand and clay. They require very sunny exposure, and need moderate watering in summer and not at all in winter.
