🌡️USDA ZONE 8a - 10a. Can tolerate light frosts. The recommended minimum temperature is -7°C. In winter, the substrate should remain dry.
☀️For healthy, stress-free growth, it needs semi-shade or a PAR radiation intensity of 20 to 25 moles of photons daily.
🌸 Large central yellow flowers. Blooms between September and November.
💧Watering begins in spring as soon as the plant undergoes its annual molt and the old leaves are reabsorbed. When the high temperatures of mid-summer arrive, between July and August, they enter estivation and watering should be stopped. Watering restarts in September and continues until the end of the flowering period. In November, watering is completely stopped to facilitate winter dormancy. Always let the substrate dry out between waterings.
🚀 Nutrition: Its growth can be favored with very moderate and low-nitrogen fertilization, providing especially potassium and assimilable calcium, such as our Desert CHOICE® Aizoaceae (NPK (Ca-Mg) 6–5–15 (3–3)).
