- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- 50+ years
- Size
- Caudex 20-50cm
- Light & Placement
- It prefers full sun. Native to rocky outcrops, it grows compact in an airy spot with sun all day.
- Watering
- From spring to autumn, water sparingly and only after the soil is completely dry. Withhold water in winter to keep the caudex dry.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Relatively cold-hardy, tolerating a few degrees above freezing for short periods. Still, keep it dry and frost-free in winter to be safe.
- Soil & Repotting
- An extremely fast-draining mix suits it. Plant with the corky caudex above the soil; growth is very slow, so repotting every few years is enough.
- Dormancy Care
- Withhold water in winter to let it rest. Some damage to the grassy leaves is fine as long as the caudex stays firm; resume watering in spring.
