- Growing Difficulty
- Advanced
- Lifespan
- 20-50 years
- Size
- 5-15cm tall
- Light & Placement
- Full sun is essential. Its habitat, however, is a cool highland at 1000-2000 m, so in summer ensure airflow and avoid heat and humidity.
- Watering
- Sparing watering is the rule. Even in the growing season, water only after the soil has dried well, and avoid letting water pool on the flat caudex.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Cold tolerance is low; withhold water in winter and keep it above 10°C. Manage it in a bright indoor spot until spring.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use an ultra-fast-draining mix based on pumice and hyuga pumice. Growth is very slow, so repotting only when the roots fill the pot is enough.
- Pests & Cautions
- It is especially vulnerable to summer humidity, so keep it in a well-ventilated spot and protect it from prolonged rain and downpours.
