lockwoodii: after S. Lockwood-Hill

H. lockwoodii is very attractive in the dormant season when the dead leaf tips are very white and cover the plant completely. It has thin and broad leaves. They usually grows very well hidden by stones or under bushes. It is a solitairy plant, with rosette from 4 to 8 cm in diameter. Colour is yellowish green.

Distribution map

H. lockwoodii is growing in the area south of Laingsburg. At Rouxpos, SE. Rooinek Pass is H lockwoodii growing in close proximity to H. mucronata and natural hybrids are common from this area.

To grow a nice specimen in cultivation needs time. Be carefully with watering - you can very easy lost the plant when water gets (and stay there for a while) into the rosette. Propagation is usually done by seeds. I recommend to grow them more exposed - they look much better and produce flowers more easily.
