Anacampseros retusa

The name of the genus Anacampseros derives from the Greek word "ἀνακαμπψέρος" and means "to lower", in fact it is a low-growing succulent plant, which clusters easily and assumes a carpet-like habit. The feature that makes it special is its small underground caudex where it stores water to survive drought periods. Its compact, obovate, pointed leaves are of a dark green color. In summer you can admire its pale pink flowers that open up in the afternoon and close down in the evening. This plant is easy to cultivate which makes it perfect for beginners.
