Being from coastal South Africa this plant is super tough in California and may not needing any water after a couple years if it is grown in marine layer influence areas. It likes more water during winter and less during summer. 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. | |

Notas de cultivo
This plant will grown in some shade, but stretches out. It looks best in a full day of sun where it grows into a dense mound. Will show some summer stress if water is withheld inland, with the leaves having reddish hues.
Easily pruned to shape and the cuttings are easily propagated.
