Xerophyte

Description

It is of easy cultivation. Require full sun or half shade. The plants on their own roots should be kept in a deep pot with a very draining mineral substrate. But be particularly careful with watering, which all crested plant require (rot sensitive). Keep dry during the winter rest. Since they are rapid growers, and need plenty of space for their roots, repotting should be done every other year or when the plant has outgrown its pot.The grafted plants are easy to grow and will form a large brain-like mounds with age. Watering during the active growing season (spring and summer); this will encourage steady growth, and prevent the crest from becoming flabby. It need a well drained soil mix. Water generously during the summer but allow to dry fully before watering again. During the winter months they should be kept rather dry.

Propagation
