This succulent bulb 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. 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. | |

Notas de cultivo
Leaves can drop given drought or cold, but regrow when factors improve.
Quickly offsets with many small succulent bulbs that are easily divided to fill out an area or other pots.
Best in pots or rockeries, but can also be grown in the garden as long as weeds aren't allowed to out compete it.
