The Cheiridopsis purpurea is a small groundcover succulent. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, joined at the base, like hull-shaped scissors, are of a light green color tending to grayish, with tiny spots. The flowering period, for this plant, is particularly prolonged: it blooms through the entire winter, until the beginning of spring. Every day, the flowers open up at noon and close down at the end of the day, after sunset, and are distinguished by their deep purple color.

Plant care:
It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.
It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 5 °C, for this reason it is recommended to shelter it during the winter period.
Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. Once a week in autumn, once a month in winter and once every two months in spring and summer.
The best soil is a well-draining one, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice or lapilli.
They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
