Cultivation: It
is an easy-to-grow
succulent. Grow in cactus compost with good drainage. Water
regularly in summer, leaving the soil dry for a few days before watering
again. When watering we
suggest avoiding excesses, but to wet the substratum well. During the
winter months avoid watering the plants located where there’s a cold
climate. Grow it in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day. But it can
also be cultivated in a covered place, in an apartment or green house.
They don't like temperatures below 10°C (but are
resistant down to 0° C for short period, but only if the soil stays
completely dry. ) During late Spring they can be moved outdoors.
It may be grown outside in mild climates.
