Highlights
Aloinopsis schooneesii (Bolus): An adorable and highly sought-after species with a distinctive look. This petite mesemb from South Africa grows as a cluster of flat-topped leaves that clump and mound tightly. The blue-green leaves are lightly textured with tiny bumps. Plants can flush pink to purple in direct sun. It grows a large taproot and plants can be maintained in a bonsai style with an exposed caudex. A. schooneesii blooms with large yellow flowers with a bright red stripe running the length of each petal. Reduce watering frequency in summer and keep dry in winter. This plant is fully rooted in a 3.5" pot.
Soft succulents will not survive a hard frost, but if there is a risk of freezing temperatures they can be brought indoors to grow on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. They need ample sunlight, good drainage, and infrequent water to prevent rot. Pick containers with drainage holes and use well-draining cactus and succulent soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again.
