Cheiridopsis
denticulata Seeds
Description:
Cheiridopsis
denticulata is a
small, perennial, spreading succulent plant that grows in the arid western part
of the Northern Cape. The leaves are opposite with one or two, sometimes three,
erect pairs of leaves on many ground-level branches. Often the leaf pairs are
dissimilar or unequal and connate (fused) in various ways. The leaves are grey
blue with a slightly wrinkled surface, more so in dry conditions. They are
triangular in cross section and the keel tapers to the inside with a tiny spine
at the tip. The flowers have four or five sepals and many stamens. The petals
are numerous and usually yellow, orange, or white, occasionally violet to red
in color.
Growing
Cheiridopsis denticulate from Seed
Cheiridopsis denticulata can
be grown easily from seeds. Sow seeds in autumn, and, to improve the chances of
germination, place the seeds in a small container with warm water for 24 hours.
This will help to soften the hard outer layer of the seeds. Sow the seeds in a
sandy medium and cover them with a thin layer of fine sand about 1 mm thick.
Keep them damp, using a fine spray, until seeds start to germinate in about
seven to fourteen days. Once the seedlings start growing, slowly reduce the
amount of water.
Cheiridopsis denticulata normally
grows in small, almost pure stands. It is characteristic of Namaqualand, which
lies in the winter-rainfall region with hot, dry summers. It needs little water
but responds well to regular watering in autumn to winter. It also needs a
sandy, well-drained soil that is rich in minerals. Watering should be minimal
in summer, but plants can be sprayed with a fine mist from time to time. They
do well when grown in conditions like those in their natural habitat or in a
greenhouse.
