Aloinopsis schooneesii is an unusual South African succulent with small, thick, textured leaves that resemble pebbles or pieces of weathered stone.
Part of the fascinating group of mesemb succulents, it forms compact rosettes above a substantial fleshy root system. Mature plants can produce attractive daisy-like yellow to bronze flowers during the cooler growing period.
Its unusual form makes it particularly desirable for living-stone collections, specialist succulent displays and miniature pots.
Growing Conditions & Care
Light
Provide bright light with direct morning or gentle sun. Good light is important for maintaining compact growth and encouraging flowering.
Protect the plant from extreme summer heat and harsh afternoon sun during periods of dormancy.
Watering
Aloinopsis schooneesii should be watered according to its growth cycle rather than a fixed schedule.
It is primarily a cool-season grower, becoming more active from autumn through the cooler months.
Water thoroughly during active growth and allow the growing medium to dry before watering again.
During hot summer dormancy, keep the plant considerably drier and avoid unnecessary watering.
Soil
Use a highly mineral, extremely free-draining succulent mix containing plenty of grit, pumice or similar material.
Potting
This species develops a fleshy taproot and therefore benefits from a deeper pot as it matures.
Key Care Tip
The greatest risk is excessive water during dormancy. Follow the plant’s growth cycle and always prioritise excellent drainage.

Benefits of Shipping Bare Roots
Shipping Practices
In order for our plants to arrive at your front door in great condition, we have established the following shipping practices to ensure a safe arrival:
The succulents are removed from their nursery pots, stripped of their soil, and set aside to dry if necessary.
Each succulent is then wrapped in tissue paper to protect them during transit. The tissue paper serves two purposes; a) to protect the plants from one another and b) to wick away any residual moisture from the root system.
The wrapped plants are then packed into a cardboard shipping box. The voids within the box are filled with eco-friendly newspaper and magazine paper, in order to prevent movement of the plants within the box, and hence minimize shipping shock.
While this process requires a significant time investment, we feel it's the best way to demonstrate our commitment to delivering high-quality plants in great condition.
We handpick the succulents and only ship out the most beautiful and healthy specimens. If you have any concern about the health and shape of your plants, please contact us immediately. We are always here to answer your questions
Shipping Bare Roots and Shipping with Pots
Shipping bare roots and soft paper wrapping provide the following benefits:
Prevent broken parts, fracture, scuffing, and fallen nodes/leaves
Minimize residual moisture within the package
Prevent soil getting into the leaves and causing a big mess
Reduce shipping weight and the cost that our customers pay
Some plants shown in 2" pots are shipped in their original plastic pots with soil because they are small and are less subject to damaging during transit.
When a shipping box contains multiple plants, we carefully wrap each individual plant in tissue paper, then fill the remaining space in the box with eco-friendly newspaper and magazine paper to ensure the plants don't move around during shipping, and hence minimize shipping shock.
