water info |
Tolerant of a wide range of watering as long as the soil is very gritty and well drained. Generally watering during winter is unnecessary unless winter rains fail. Give ample water during summer, letting the plant go around half dry, when temperatures rise. This encourages this slow growing plant to move along a bit! Be sure to water from above, evenly covering the entire surface. This plant will grow in an inch of soil in a tiny dish, but you’ll want to water it consistently up to a couple times a week during hot summer days. |
