Cultivation: They like a warm bright location, does great in
partial shade avoid full sun. During winter's rest period they should be dry
and cool. It is best to avoid any frost but during the winter the
temperature can be as low as 2° C without any harm so long as the
compost is very dry, they like only a short winter's rest. If the soil
is allowed to be dry for too long root loss could follow but equally the
same result would occur if the plants are both wet and cold. Cold spots
can mar its epidermis in cold damp conditions. They need good drainage and prefer a
neutral to slightly acidic compost
with plenty of extra grit. Water and feed during the summer. Best if
watered with rain water and given an occasional tonic of sequestrated
iron.
Note: The variety
name derives from Latin "depressus " =
Flattened
Reproduction: Usually by seeds as it seldom produces
offsets.
