RiegoBajo

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.

Thrives on fog.

Notas de cultivo

Excellent slow spreading ground cover that excels in coastal conditions, but also fares well inland with heat, as long as it is watered frequently during hotter months.

Looks best when it is allowed to grow without pruning, which can set back the dens pillowing affect of this plant.
