- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 5+ years
- Size
- 5-15cm
- Watering
- Insects (auto-capture)
- Temperature & Overwintering
- An alpine and subalpine plant that needs cool conditions. It is intolerant of heat, and summer is the hardest season.
- Dormancy Care
- The top dies back in winter and it overwinters as a dormant bud. Do not discard it as dead; keep the medium slightly moist and exposed to cold.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a sandy, slightly alkaline to neutral medium kept moist. As a wet-rock plant it needs both drainage and water retention.
- Watering
- Use pure or rain water, or soft to slightly hard water, and keep the medium moist. Never let it dry out, but avoid standing water.
- Light & Placement
- Avoid direct sun and give bright indirect light. Choose a cool, well-ventilated spot.
- Pests & Cautions
- Wild Japanese plants are protected from collection, so obtain cultivated stock. Watch for the plant collapsing in summer heat.
