Cultivation is not too difficult in a
greenhouse, although grows
quite slowly. The plants need a loose well-drained
mineral soil. They need a good amount of
light.
Watering can be done weekly during
summertime, if the weather is
sunny enough, with a little
fertilizer added. Kept this way, plants will
show a
healthy, although slow
growth. They are
frost hardy to -4°
(-10°) C
Be careful: The epidermis of this hybrid is harder than in
the normal asterias or myriostigma and cracks easily if plants are overwatered.
Propagation:
By
seeds, remembering that
seedlings dislike strong
light and
dry conditions and need to be
repotted
frequently. Eventually, as they become mature, they attain a maximum
size of 8-10 cm (20) cm. But plants are often
grafted to accelerate growth as
they would generally take at least a five years to reach
maturity on their
own, but the grafted plants are typical rather tall growing, compared
with plants on their own roots that are usually more flat to the
ground.
