Planting & Care
Sow seeds in a well-draining seed-starting mix, barely covering them with a thin layer of soil. Keep the medium consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide warmth (around 75-85°F) and bright, indirect light. Germination can take several weeks. Once seedlings have developed a few true leaves, transplant them into individual pots using a gritty, fast-draining succulent mix.
Water established plants thoroughly when the top inch of soil is dry, reducing watering during cooler months. Protect from frost and move containers indoors or to a sheltered spot in winter. Fertilize lightly during the growing season to support healthy growth and blooming.
