🌡️ USDA ZONE 8a - 10a. Can tolerate frost. The minimum recommended temperature is -7ºC. In winter, when cultivated in pots, they should remain with dry substrate.
☀️ For healthy and stress-free growth, it needs partial shade or a PAR radiation intensity of 20 to 25 moles of photons daily.
🌸 Large central white 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 high summer temperatures 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.
🚀 Its development improves by providing nutrition with high content of assimilable Calcium and potassium, such as with Desert CHOICE® Aizoaceas.
