Gibbaeum heathii is a species of succulent plant that is native to South Africa. It is a small, compact plant with rounded leaves covered in a fine down. This species is highly variable and has many different varieties. It is found in the Western Cape Province, specifically in the Little Karoo districts of Montagu, Ladismith, and Swellendam. It grows in hot, rocky areas and prefers well-drained loamy soil and some protection from full sun. As it is adapted to arid environments, it only requires occasional watering throughout the year. This plant is also known as a popular choice for cultivation.
