What do plants represent? Life, wisdom, light, connection, etc. We could spend a whole day describing the magnificence of plants and among all of them we would find love. Somehow plants inspire us through their colors and shapes. Thanks to them we create stories of fantasy and magic, but also of love. Especially if we see the heart-shaped succulent, a plant that reveals the romanticism of nature.
Conophytum bilobum is a plant native to South Africa. Among all the types of succulents that we know, this one stands out for its peculiar heart shape. We are not literally talking about a heart, but about the representation that we have given it through the drawing.
The perfect succulent heart
Two strange halves seem to come together in a perfect structure, to then give life to a complete being. The heart of this succulent stands out for having a well-defined shape and full of green color. The lobes of the plant, which can measure up to 7.5 cm high, look like a bouquet of well-defined hearts that no one can resist adoring. Some of these succulents can even develop small flowers that emerge at the top and can be orange or yellow.
In particular, this plant begins its rest cycle during the summer. During this period a new body begins to form within some old lobes. Once it replaces all the old with new life, then the plant will begin the growth cycle.
If you keep a heart-shaped succulent near you, it is best to consider that they do not require much. Excess water can make its lobes explode and it would be more difficult to see it grow.
This succulent is an ideal winter plant, at temperatures of 12°C or a little less it feels completely comfortable. Once you find a safe and reliable site, then you can watch the beautiful hearts of this plant grow.
In case you are looking for a gift for a special person, this succulent is undoubtedly the best option. There is nothing better than giving life, and indoor plants are an excellent option if what you want is to fill that person with good vibes. There are thousands of gift options, but there is only one that is completely sustainable, economical and beneficial: plants. And what better than a plant of love.
