This succulent likes to be fully saturated and then go totally dry before the next watering; you risk rotting the roots if you water while there is significant moisture in the soil. Keep an eye on the leaves, if they begin to shrivel the plant is ready for water. If the plant is in a small pot it will be heavy when well watered and lighter when it's ready for a drink. Remember your watering schedule will depend on the size of the pot (smaller pots needing more frequent watering) and environmental factors such as the season, weather, humidity and exposure. Don't leave succulents in standing water, such as a saucer, for more than a day. Eventually older leaves will shrivel up. Once they are totally dry they come off with a light tug.

Notas de cultivo

Deadhead flowers once they are done blooming.

Ever few years when the clump of this plant becomes old and mismanaged a good hard pruning will revitalize it.

Cuttings are easily propagated.

Interés especial

Color can also intensify with winter chills.

Tall, branched yellow star flowers in winter and spring add to the colorful display of this plant.
