Conophytum ratum (also known as Conophytum 'Kamikaze') is a perennial succulent belonging to the genus Conophytum in the family Aizoaceae. It holds a significant position in the classification of succulents, considered one of the representative species of the genus Conophytum, second in importance only to the genera Conophytum and Lithops. This species exhibits a unique physiological rhythm: it undergoes deep dormancy in summer, with its growing season concentrated in spring, autumn, and winter. Each year, it experiences a months-long shedding period, during which nutrients from the old leaves gradually transfer to the new leaves. Due to its sensitivity to environmental changes, precise cultivation adjustments are required, making it suitable for advanced enthusiasts seeking a challenge.
