En culture
The cordate aptenia , also called heart-leaved figwort, is a succulent plant (which transforms water into juices) native to South Africa .
A creeping plant with evergreen leaves, Aptenia cordifolia branches a lot and keeps an intense green color all year round without needing too much water, on the contrary!
Its flowers are very responsive and open early in the day. Ideal for hanging, the Heart-leaved Ficoïde can also be used in desert to semi-desert terrariums.
When you receive the branches to be replanted, simply stick them halfway into the potting soil . Aptenia root very easily and quickly, provided you keep the potting soil moist but not waterlogged!
Also available in a pot .

22 years of experience in packaging our plants. 100% recycled or reused.
- Use our special mix , composed of 50% blond peat, 25% horticultural soil and 25% perlite.
- Choose a bright environment or even one with direct sunlight.
- Place the plant indoors or in a terrarium/paludarium type structure with plenty of atmospheric humidity for optimal growth. Aptenia cordifolia tolerates temperatures between -5°C and 30°C.
- Water with rainwater or demineralized water. The substrate must dry completely between two waterings because the plant is very sensitive to waterlogging.
