Highlights
Glottiphyllum linguiforme (N.E.Br.): A gummy, green plant from gravelly, quartz slopes of South Africa. Its Latin name refers to its "tongue-shaped leaves" which are distichous, i.e. they grow in a single plane like a fan. In the wild it often grows in the shade of shrubs and tolerates hot, dry, sunny seasons by going dormant and flushing bronze to purple. This species produces large, silky yellow flowers of many long, narrow petals and can develop into a small clump.
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.
