This species grows in quartz slopes, in summer raining areas. They both in colour and shape, resemble the stones and pebbles found in their natural habitat. The form and colour of the Dinteranthus have developed in order to allow them to live in the harsh conditions of their natural environment where they are able to stand extended periods of drought.
They are called mimicry plants as they show a striking similarity to their background rocks and are difficult to detect when not in flower. The Dinteranthus have a pebbly look and are commonly known as pebble plants or living stones; each species is associated with one particular type of rock formation and occurs nowhere else. This camouflage also reduces the need for chemical defences against herbivores.

~Seed Germination~
I provide easy to understand germination instructions with all my seeds. Please keep in mind I cannot guarantee 100% germination rates as seeds are natural products, and success depends on many factors outside of my control such as temperature, humidity, light and sterility.
I operate a small cactus nursery in Canada called Cactus Kingdom. I specialize in rare cacti and succulents. My seeds are always fresh with excellent germination rates.
