Care Tips
Grow in a bright, sunny position using free-draining cactus and succulent compost. Water moderately during active growth, allowing the compost to dry between waterings, and drain thoroughly.
Keep almost dry during winter and protect from frost and cold draughts. Apply a diluted liquid feed during spring and summer. Avoid persistent wetness, which can cause root rot.
