Description
Antimima evoluta(Mesembryanthemaceae). It is a very diminutive succulent shrub forming a compact caespitose cushion with densely, compressed leaves and bearing small purple flowers. Sowing : The small seeds can be sown in pots of fine, well-drained sand, when temperatures are warm. Cover the seeds with a very fine layer of grit and water from below with a fungicide to prevent damping off. For the first 3-4 days cover the pots with a sheet of glass/clear perspex to keep the humidity levels high. Remove the glass and replace it with light shade-cloth and mist once or twice a day for the next two weeks after which most seeds should have germinated. From then on misting can be reduced to every second and then every third day as the little plants grow. Locality : Vredendal. Date of harvest : May 2016
