🌡️USDA ZONE 8b - 10a. Can tolerate light frosts. The recommended minimum temperature is -2ºC. In winter, they should remain with dry substrate.
☀️For healthy, stress-free growth, it needs partial shade or a PAR radiation intensity between 20 and 25 moles of photons daily.
🌸 Large central white flowers. Blooms between October and November.
💧Watering begins in spring as soon as the plant completes its annual shedding and the old leaves are reabsorbed. When high summer temperatures arrive between July and August, they enter ecodormancy, and watering should be stopped. Watering restarts in September and continues until the flowering period ends. In November, watering is completely stopped to facilitate winter dormancy. Always let the substrate dry between waterings.
🚀Nutrition: Its development improves with fertilizer high in assimilable Calcium and potassium, such as Desert CHOICE® Aizoaceae ( NPK (Ca-Mg) 6–5–15 (3–3))
