- Growing Difficulty
- Beginner-friendly
- Lifespan
- Perennial (decades)
- Size
- 3-15cm
- Watering
- Minimal
- Light & Placement
- Loves direct sun; with plenty of light both spine color and flowering improve. Keep it in a sunny, well-ventilated spot.
- Watering
- 2-3 times monthly in growth season. No water in winter
- Temperature & Overwintering
- Tolerates lows of about 5°C, though this varies by species. Keeping it dry by withholding water in winter helps it cope with the cold.
- Soil & Repotting
- Use a very fast-draining mix. For clumping species, repot during the growing season once the pot gets crowded, removing offsets as you go.
- Propagation
- Propagate from seed or by dividing offsets. Let the base of a removed offset dry before setting it on soil.
