- Growing Difficulty
- Advanced
- Lifespan
- 100+ years (in habitat)
- Size
- 30-100cm (total height incl. caudex)
- Temperature
- 15〜40℃
- Watering
- Water: when topsoil dries in growth season / complete withhold in dormancy
- Light & Placement
- Loves strong direct sun. Ideally grow it outdoors in full sun during the summer growing season, and avoid insufficient light.
- Watering
- In the growing season, water thoroughly once the surface soil dries. During dormancy withhold water completely to prevent root rot.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- The ideal range is 25-35°C, within an overall range of 15-40°C. Stop watering after leaf drop in winter; in Japan, overwintering indoors is safest.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use an ultra-fast-draining mix based on hyuga pumice and pumice with minimal organic matter. Repot in the growing season, taking care not to damage the roots.
- Pests & Cautions
- Rooting bare-root plants is the hardest part, often needing a combination of hydroponics, sealed humidity, and heat (25-30°C) for months. Starting with an already-rooted plant is safer.
