- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- 20+ years
- Size
- 20-40cm
- Light & Placement
- Prefers full sun. Most of the caudex sits underground, so use a deeper pot and place it in a sunny spot.
- Watering
- In the growing season, water moderately after the soil dries. Keep it on the dry side so the underground caudex does not rot.
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Being from South Africa, it is relatively cold-hardy and can briefly tolerate temperatures around 0°C. Withhold water in winter and avoid freezing.
- Soil & Repotting
- An ultra-fast-draining mix is the rule. Raising the caudex a little at each repotting lets you display the part that swelled underground.
- Pests & Cautions
- A tough, easy species, but watering during the winter dry period makes the caudex prone to rot. Keep it completely dry while dormant.
