Cultivation:
Watering Needs
It needs
regular water,
but
do not water again until dry. Also, it is a species that is dormant in
the winter and requires
very little water (maybe even none) during the
cold months.
Frost Tolerance: Light frost protection required. Minimum of
5ºC for safe growing (but hardy up to -5°C or less.)
Sun Exposure: Requires light shade to bright light (protect
from strong
midday sun).
In shade the body colour will remain mostly green, while full sun will
darken and give it a rich pink-red body colour.
Can be sunburned if moved
from shade/greenhouse into full sun too quickly. The amount of sunlight
it can withstand without scorching depends upon the how hot it becomes
in the summer in the location in which it is planted. It will have more
colour if it receives more light. During the spring it may be able to
take full sun until the heat arrives at the end of spring.
In an area
that has hot afternoon sun, it may be able to take full morning sun, but
requires afternoon shade or afternoon light shade.
