- Growing Difficulty
- Intermediate
- Lifespan
- Several decades or more
- Size
- 10-40cm (caudex diameter)
- Temperature
- 10〜40℃
- Watering
- Water: thoroughly when dry in growth season / withhold after leaf drop
- Light & Placement
- Full sun is essential. Insufficient light causes a thin caudex and etiolation, so grow it outdoors in full sun during the growing season.
- Watering
- In the growing season, water thoroughly once the soil dries. After leaf drop, withhold water to prevent root rot.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- The ideal range is 20-35°C, within an overall range of 10-40°C. Bring it indoors before temperatures fall below 10°C, and withhold water completely after leaf drop.
- Soil & Repotting
- An ultra-fast-draining blend based on akadama, hyuga pumice, and pumice is the rule. Repot at the start of the growing season.
- Pests & Cautions
- Root rot is the greatest enemy. The combination of wet soil and cold is lethal, so keep it dry through winter.
