Most cotyledon are from the deserts of the world and as such like to go totally bone dry between waterings, making them very low-maintenance. If you see your cotyledon begin to shrivel or lose firmness, your plant is likely totally dry and should be watered. This cotyledon comes from an area with winter rainfall and is actively growing during that time, when it is forgiving of overwatering errors. During summer dormancy it should be kept extra dry and will be intolerant of overwatering. Remember that if kept in a small pot your plant will want more frequent watering. | |

Notas de cultivo
If the growth point is pinched off it will create multiple new leaders that can again be pinched, creating a bushier plant over time.
Interés especial
Easily propagated by cutting. This is best done in the fall.
The genus cotyledon are primarily from Southern Africa, and the name refers to the similarity of the leaves to the initial leaf that emerges from a seedpod (called a 'cotyledon leaf'), which is uniquely shaped to fit in the seed.
